By the editors · 2 min readBlack pepper and bergamot create a bright citrus-spicy opening that quickly softens into the heart accord. Ginger adds warmth while jasmine provides a floral sweetness that complements violet's powdery character. Tonka bean and amber create a sweet resinous base that blends with musk's skin-like warmth. The dry-down shifts from spicy-citrus to a soft sweet-powdery trail that stays close to the skin. Projection is moderate initially but becomes intimate within two hours, lasting through the day with linear evolution. Best worn in cool to warm weather for casual or date occasions where its playful sweetness feels appropriate.
