By the editors · 2 min readNeroli and bergamot create a luminous citrus opening that quickly folds into a plush white-floral heart where jasmine dominates, its indolic creaminess amplified by ylang-ylang while iris dusts the petals with cool, violet-tinged powder. Peach skin adds a subtle oily fruitiness that keeps the bouquet from turning soapy, bridging to a base of creamy Mysore sandalwood glazed with benzoin and opoponax resin. Over hours the florals recede, leaving a skin-hugging veil of tonka-sweetened sandalwood musk that smells like warm, salted almond butter. Projection stays within conversational distance; the parfum concentration on cashmere feels made for cool-weather dinners or quiet offices.
