Scent Notes

The opening arrives with a burst of sparkling citrus and spice—cardamom and coriander dance with mandarin orange and lemon, creating an immediate sense of freshness and optimism. The brightness here is unmistakable, setting a tone that feels both sophisticated and approachable.
In the heart, tuberose blooms with a soft, creamy presence, supported by the warm whisper of pimento, plum, and rose. This floral core is where the fragrance's feminine character truly shines, offering a gentle evolution that feels natural and modern rather than overly sweet.
The base settles into a warm embrace of vanilla and amber patchouli, grounding the composition with comfort and depth. A gentle personal sillage carries this fragrance with you throughout the day and into evening, lasting 6–8 hours with a noticeable projection that draws people close without overwhelming the room.
