Scent Profile — What You'll Experience
Heart Notes
Geranium · Labdanum · Violet
Base Notes
Incense · Patchouli · Vanilla
The first impression is a luminous burst of opoponax and cognac, opening with crisp modernism and a subtle sweetness. This top-layer moment feels fresh yet sophisticated, setting the stage for what unfolds. The composition balances warmth with clarity, inviting you into the heart of the fragrance.
What follows is a graceful heart of labdanum, violet, and geranium—a trio that builds quiet sensuality and refined depth. The violet brings a powdery elegance, while geranium adds a green, almost mineral edge. Labdanum creates the adhesive warmth that ties everything together, transforming the opening into something more intimate and layered.
The base settles into a warm skin-level presence of vanilla, patchouli, and incense, creating a noticeable yet intimate sillage that lingers beautifully. The patchouli grounds the vanilla's sweetness, while incense adds a contemplative, almost spiritual dimension. This fragrance performs best in mild to warm climates, where its gentle projection shines without overwhelming.
