Scent Profile — What You'll Experience
Heart Notes
Geranium · Lavender · Patchouli
Base Notes
Oakmoss · Pink Pepper
The top notes arrive as a soft embrace of creamy vanilla and delicate iris, creating an inviting opening that feels both refined and approachable. This introduction sets a warm, sophisticated tone that draws you in without overwhelming the senses.
As the fragrance settles, the heart reveals a masterful blend of patchouli, lavender, and geranium. These middle notes create depth and complexity, adding an effortless elegance that transforms the scent into something more intimate and grounded. The lavender brings a whisper of freshness while the patchouli grounds the composition in earthy warmth.
The base emerges with pine, pink pepper, and moss, creating an intimate skin-close trail that lingers beautifully throughout the day and into evening. This final layer is where the fragrance truly shines, offering 6–8 hours of noticeable presence that feels personal and inviting rather than projecting loudly. The moss adds a subtle earthiness that keeps the scent grounded, while the pink pepper provides a gentle spice that balances the creamy opening.
