It begins with a composed burst of black cardamom and ginger that ignites the senses with gentle warmth. Pink pepper joins the opening, adding a subtle peppery lift that feels fresh and inviting. The top notes create an immediate impression of radiance—sharp yet approachable, promising a fragrance with depth.
The middle notes reveal a luminous floral heart where water lily and orchid take the lead, softened by whispers of jasmine and rose. This transition is where the fragrance truly blooms, shifting from spiced energy into a more intimate, creamy floral character. The florals feel refined and poised, never overwhelming—they invite rather than demand attention.
The base anchors everything in rich, complex warmth. Amber and black amber create a honey-like foundation, deepened by incense and kyara incense that add an almost sacred dimension. Leather and patchouli ground the composition further, while sandalwood provides a silky, sustainable finish. A moderate composed projection carries the fragrance throughout the day and into evening, making it versatile across all seasons with peak performance during warmer months.
Dark Amber & Ginger Lily delivers 6–8 hours of wear on skin with noticeable projection. Apply to pulse points for optimal diffusion. Layer with the Body Oil to extend longevity throughout your day. Perfect for autumn and winter wear. HumanSafe™ Verified · IFRA Compliant · 100% Vegan & Cruelty-Free.
