By the editors · 2 min readCinnamon and plum create a spiced fruity opening, warm and slightly jammy without excessive sweetness. Tuberose, magnolia, and ylang-ylang form a rich floral heart that is creamy and slightly indolic, adding depth and opulence. Myrrh introduces a resinous, slightly smoky quality that contrasts with the florals, while sandalwood and amber provide a smooth, woody base. Vanilla and tonka bean round out the dry-down with a soft, sweet warmth that lingers on skin. Projection is substantial initially, settling to a moderate sillage that lasts through the evening. Best for formal or special occasions in cooler weather.
