Base Notes

Liquidambar · Papyrus · Vetiver

It begins with a burst of luminous iris and plum, softened by delicate orris and warm saffron—a top note composition that feels both fresh and inviting. The opening settles into an elegantly composed entrance, setting the stage for what unfolds.

The middle notes reveal a blooming heart of Bulgarian rose, jasmine, and jasmine sambac, layered with orris and rose for exceptional depth. This floral core embodies a quietly commanding presence, radiating confidence with every breath. The florals are rich yet refined, creating that signature amber floral character that defines the style.

The base anchors the composition with vetiver, papyrus, and liquidambar—earthy, sensual notes that extend longevity across 6–8 hours. This moderate composed projection carries the fragrance elegantly throughout your evening, adapting beautifully across seasons while reaching peak performance in warmer months. The sillage remains noticeable without overwhelming, a perfect balance of presence and restraint.
