The drydown comprises fruit lifescent, captive musks, orchid vanilla and ebony wood notes. The Patti LaBelle scent is packaged in a "texturized" frosted bottle with a silver collar and a crystal cap. The outer carton is cream, with the Patti LaBelle logo stamped in silver. Available October 1 in 1,000 J.C.
