By the editors · 2 min readJasmine and orange blossom open together in a creamy, slightly indolic floral pairing. The orange blossom keeps the jasmine from going too narcotic, lending an almost edible neroli-adjacent quality to the first impression.
Neroli reinforces the citrus-floral lift in the heart, joined by almond and heliotrope. The almond reads marzipan-sweet, the heliotrope cherry-pie-doughy, and together they push the composition toward a soft pastry territory while florals hover above.
Incense, frankincense, and patchouli close the development with a smoky-resinous earthiness. The incense smokes through the almond sweetness rather than dominating, and patchouli grounds everything with dry darkness. Overall character: a soft floral-gourmand-incense hybrid suited to cooler-weather evenings, more contemplative than seductive.
