By the editors · 2 min readYlang-ylang opens creamy and slightly banana-sweet, its tropical heft cushioned by bergamot’s brief citrus sparkle. Heliotrope steps in early, its marzipan-almond facet turning the bouquet powdery while a muted rose keeps the heart airy rather than jammy. As the scent settles, tonka bean folds the almond thread into warm hay-vanilla, amber spreads a soft resinous glow, and suede smooths everything with a supple skin-like leather. The result is a plush, lightly sweet oriental that stays close to the body yet diffuses a gentle almond haze for hours. Projection remains intimate, perfect for office or cool spring evenings when you want comfort without announcement.
