Heart Notes
Jasmine · Orange Blossom
The journey opens with a burst of succulent raspberry, delivering a crisp and modern first impression. This fruity overture immediately establishes the fragrance's bright, energetic character while maintaining an airy refinement that feels both contemporary and elegant.
At its core, jasmine and jasmine sambac intertwine with orange blossom and tuberose, creating a lush floral heart that radiates quiet sensuality. These white florals bloom with depth and complexity, softening into the composition's warm, inviting center—a testament to the fragrance's balanced approach to femininity.
The base emerges as a delicate milk accord, wrapping the composition in a soft, creamy finish. A refined close presence lingers throughout the 6–8 hour wear time, creating a noticeable sillage that feels intimate rather than overwhelming—perfect for those who appreciate fragrance that whispers rather than shouts.
