Scent Profile — What You'll Experience
Top Notes
Aldehydes · Cardamom · Coriander
Heart Notes
Rhubarb · Rose
Base Notes
Ambroxan · Oakmoss · Sandalwood
The top notes arrive as a crisp, aldehydic burst—coriander and cardamom dancing with sparkling aldehydes that feel both fresh and sophisticated. There's an immediate sense of clarity, like the first sip of something clean and invigorating. This opening is airy and refined, setting an elegant foundation without demanding attention.
As the fragrance settles, delicate florals emerge: rhubarb's tart sweetness mingles with lily-of-the-valley and pink rose, creating a luminous, slightly fruited heart. The transition feels seamless, deepening the fragrance's intimate character while maintaining that signature refinement.
The base anchors everything in quiet confidence—ambroxan, oakmoss, and sandalwood weave together in an intimate skin-close trail that whispers rather than shouts. Longevity extends 6–8 hours, with noticeable but never overwhelming projection. At its best in warm conditions, this fragrance remains equally wearable year-round, adapting to any season or moment.
