By the editors · 2 min readYlang-ylang dominates the opening, its custard-like richness laced with neroli's bitter-orange edge and a veil of cool woodsmoke that keeps the floral from turning syrupy. Jasmine and orange blossom arrive together, amplifying the white-floral radiance while plum adds a dark, wine-stained fruitiness that pushes the heart toward a bruised, midnight bloom. Ambergris lends a salty, skin-warm lift that floats the flowers above patchouli's cocoa-earth crunch; vanilla softens the finish into a tobacco-hued balm that still carries the ember of the first smoky breath. Projection stays at arm's length for six hours, casting a humid, dusk-weight aura perfect for temperate spring evenings or an outdoor dinner when the air still holds the day's heat.
