By the editors · 2 min readNeroli and bergamot open with a classic citrus freshness, slightly floral and bright in character. Jasmine and ylang-ylang form a rich white-floral heart, complemented by rose's soft powderiness. Sandalwood and vetiver provide a dry woody base, while cumin adds a subtle warm-spicy animalic nuance. The scent transitions from citrus-floral to a spicy, musky dry-down over several hours. Projection is moderate with good longevity, ideal for spring or fall formal occasions. This complex structure balances floral brightness with earthy depth, creating a timeless elegance.
