The first impression is a burst of radiant bergamot and grapefruit that instantly lifts the senses. These sun-kissed top notes create an inviting opening that feels fresh and effortlessly bright, setting the stage for what unfolds beneath.
What follows is a lush heart of rose, strawberry, jasmine, orange blossom, and ylang-ylang—each note weaving together in perfect harmony. This floral bouquet is romantic without being heavy, creating a luminous presence that feels both luxurious and wearable. The strawberry adds a subtle sweetness that keeps the composition feeling modern and youthful.
The base reveals itself with grace: patchouli, oakmoss, sandalwood, amber, cedarwood, and white musk blend seamlessly to anchor the composition. This creates a warm skin-level presence that lingers for 6–8 hours with noticeable sillage, ensuring your fragrance moves with you throughout the day and into the evening.
