Scent Profile — What You'll Experience
Base Notes
Cedarwood · Woody Notes
A burst of fig leaf and fig creates an instantly recognizable, sun-drenched opening that feels both fresh and inviting. The brightness here is natural and unforced, with the green fig settling into your skin like a memory of Mediterranean gardens.
The composition evolves into a creamy, sophisticated heart where soft green notes meet unexpected coconut warmth. This middle passage is where the fragrance truly shines—balancing botanical freshness with a subtle sweetness that feels indulgent without being heavy. It's the soul of the scent, drawing you deeper into its embrace.
Cedar and woody notes anchor the base, creating a gentle woody foundation that lasts 6–8 hours on skin. Beneath it all, the fig tree's signature warmth lingers as a soft personal halo, grounding the fragrance in earthy sophistication. The sillage remains noticeable yet intimate, projecting just enough to leave an impression without overwhelming the room.
