By the editors · 2 min readA direct composition: tuberose and iris in the heart over sandalwood, with little else getting in the way. The tuberose carries its usual creamy-carnal weight, the iris cooling it just enough to keep the perfume from tipping into pure white-floral excess.
Sandalwood in the base brings a dry-creamy warmth; the absence of typical floral-base machinery (musk, vanilla, amber) is itself a stylistic choice. The result reads contemplative — a still life of two flowers and a wood, photographed in low light. Suited to evenings, intimate settings, when you want presence without anything competing for attention.
