Heart Notes
Caraway · Cinnamon · Clary Sage
Base Notes
Amber · Cedarwood · Patchouli · Vanilla
A burst of bergamot, lemon, and peppermint creates an invigorating top note that feels both crisp and refined. Delicate pear and lavender soften the opening, lending an airy elegance that immediately captures attention. This fresh, zesty prelude sets the stage for a fragrance built on sophistication and ease.
The composition evolves into a warm, spiced heart where cinnamon, clary sage, and caraway add depth and character. These aromatic mid-notes create a refined complexity that keeps the fragrance from feeling one-dimensional, grounding the brightness of the top with subtle earthiness and warmth.
Amber, black vanilla husk, and cedarwood anchor the base in sensual comfort, while patchouli and cedar provide lasting structure. The drydown settles into a soft personal halo—noticeable yet intimate—that hovers close to skin for 6–8 hours. This is a fragrance that belongs close, a companion rather than a statement.

Layer with the Body Oil to extend wear throughout your day. Perfect for year-round wear. HumanSafe™ Verified · IFRA Compliant · 100% Vegan & Cruelty-Free.
