The opening arrives with a luminous burst of Amalfi lemon, bergamot, and fresh mint—a crisp, invigorating introduction that feels both clean and gently energizing. The citrus notes dance with peppermint, creating an airy top that sets a sophisticated tone for the hours ahead.
In the heart, the composition reveals its sensual soul. African orange flower and rose blossom emerge alongside warming cinnamon and herbaceous lavender, with rosemary adding complexity. This floral-spice heart is where the fragrance truly captivates, building depth without heaviness.
The base settles into a warm embrace of tonka bean, sandalwood, and guaiac wood, with amber and patchouli anchoring the composition. A gentle personal sillage carries this warm, woody finish close to the skin, making it intimate yet present. The fragrance unfolds beautifully for 6–8 hours, evolving throughout the day.
