Scent Profile — What You'll Experience

Top Notes

Pink Pepper · Rose

Heart Notes

Incense

Base Notes

Agarwood · Labdanum · Oakmoss · Vetiver

The first impression is a burst of pink pepper and Turkish rose, with bright rose petals that create an immediate sense of refinement and warmth. This top note unfolds with a gentle spice that signals the complexity to come, inviting you deeper into the composition.

What follows is a heart rich with amber, incense, and olibanum, where layers of rose and Turkish rose create a creamy, powdery heart that feels intimate and luxurious. The incense adds an almost meditative quality, grounding the sweetness and creating a modern sophistication that speaks to both women and men.

The base emerges with agarwood and oud, supported by ambroxan, cedarwood, labdanum, oakmoss, and vetiver—a warm skin-level presence that lingers for 6–8 hours with noticeable sillage. This woody foundation feels grounded and sensual, perfect for mild to warm climates where the fragrance can breathe and evolve beautifully throughout the day.
