Scent Profile — What You'll Experience
Top Notes
Bergamot · Rum
Heart Notes
Davana · Lavender
Base Notes
Cedarwood · Chestnut · Patchouli · Vanilla
The journey opens with rum and elemi dancing alongside bright bergamot, creating an inviting brightness that feels both contemporary and timeless. This is no aggressive opening—instead, it settles into a soft luminosity that draws people closer.
At its core, lavender and davana weave a gentle, aromatic heart that anchors the composition. The lavender speaks to refinement and calm, while davana adds an unexpected sweetness that keeps the fragrance modern and endlessly wearable.
The base reveals the true depth: cedarwood, chestnut, and Madagascar vanilla create a warm, creamy foundation, while smoke and patchouli add subtle complexity. This refined close presence lingers gracefully for 6–8 hours, leaving a noticeable sillage that announces your arrival without overwhelming the room.
