By the editors · 2 min readA green-bitter petitgrain lifts off the skin first, threaded with the creamy banana-tinged sweetness of ylang-ylang. The opening reads more aromatic than fruity, with a pale floral haze rather than any sharp citrus snap.
The heart settles into a quietly dense bouquet: jasmine and mimosa cushioning a damp vetiver, with nutmeg and cedar adding a warm woody backbone. Heliotrope brings a soft almond-vanilla powderiness that hints toward the dryout.
The base is the long story here, oakmoss and Mysore sandalwood resting under labdanum-warm amber and a gentle vanilla. The dryout reads as a powdered, slightly mossy cream-wood, retro in shape and unhurried in pace.
