By the editors · 2 min readPink pepper opens with a dry, faintly metallic snap before Bulgarian rose steps in — not a lush, dewy rose but something drier and almost dusty. The two notes hold a brisk tension in the early wear.
As the fragrance settles, sandalwood and labdanum take over, smoothing the spice into a warm resinous base. Madagascar vanilla and amber deepen the dry-down without tipping into heavy sweetness, sitting instead in a soft, slightly powdery amber territory.
Overall, this is a muted, understated oriental with more restraint than its name suggests. The rose-and-amber combination reads as wearable and balanced rather than opulent or loud.
