Sandalwood
The opening blooms with tangelo and peony, a radiant combination that captures the essence of a sun-kissed morning. Tangelo's hybrid brightness—bridging tangerine and pomelo—pairs beautifully with delicate peony to create a soft, luminous first act that immediately draws you in.
What follows is a sophisticated heart of white pepper, adding a subtle warmth and gentle spice that deepens the fragrance's character. This transition softens the initial citrus, grounding the composition and revealing layers of modern elegance beneath the bright opening.
The base settles into sandalwood and pine, creating a warm skin-level presence that lingers gracefully for 6–8 hours. The sillage is noticeable without overwhelming, projecting just enough to remind you of its beauty throughout your day. This base anchors the fragrance perfectly, making it ideal for mild to warm climates.
