By the editors · 2 min readApricot and orange blossom open with a fruity and intensely floral sweetness that is bright and slightly tropical. Ylang-ylang and heliotrope deepen the floral heart, adding a creamy, powdery quality that feels rich and indulgent. Sandalwood provides a smooth, creamy woody base that is warmed by labdanum and benzoin’s resinous balsamic character. Vanilla adds a soft sweetness that blends seamlessly into the dry-down, creating a comforting and long-lasting trail. The scent evolves from a fruity-floral burst to a warm, ambery woodiness over several hours. Projection is moderate and persistent, making it suitable for evening wear or special occasions in cooler seasons.
