It begins with a fresh, radiant opening of ylang-ylang and bergamot, creating an immediate sense of elegance and light. The bergamot brings a subtle citrus brightness that feels effortless and refined, while ylang-ylang introduces a creamy, floral warmth that sets an intimate tone from the first spray.
The middle notes reveal the true heart of this fragrance: a lush tapestry of Bulgarian rose, hedione, heliotrope, and rose. These floral notes intertwine beautifully, creating a moderate composed projection that feels both present and graceful. The heliotrope adds a powdery sweetness and almond undertone, while the hedione enhances the rose's natural clarity, resulting in a harmonious and deeply romantic accord.
As the fragrance settles, myrrh and sandalwood emerge to anchor the composition with warm, woody depth. This base extends the scent's longevity across 6–8 hours, with a noticeable sillage that remains elegant throughout. The sandalwood provides a creamy, soft foundation, while myrrh adds resinous complexity—perfect for day wear and intimate occasions alike, with peak performance in warmer months.
