Scent Profile — What You'll Experience
Top Notes
Mandarin Orange · Pink Pepper
Base Notes
Sandalwood · Vanilla · Vetiver
The opening burst of mandarin orange and pink pepper creates an immediate sense of joy—zesty, slightly peppery, and radiating warmth against the skin. These top notes feel naturally uplifting, perfect for those who love bright, citrus-forward fragrances that make a gentle statement.
What follows is a heart of ylang-ylang and sea daffodil florets, where the fragrance truly blooms. The floral accord becomes soft and romantic, with creamy white florals balanced by a subtle aquatic undertone that keeps everything fresh and airy. This middle phase is where the fragrance finds its soulful center—never heavy, always wearable.
The base grounds everything with sandalwood, vanilla, and vetiver, creating a warm skin-level presence that lingers gracefully for 6–8 hours. The sillage is noticeable yet intimate, projecting just enough to draw admiration without overwhelming a room. In mild to warm climates, this fragrance performs beautifully, evolving from bright to sensual as it dries down.
