The rose is present but not dominant — patchouli grounds it, pulling the floral accord toward something more textured and musky. Amber enters gradually in the base, reinforcing the warmth without becoming resinous or heavy.
Sandalwood and musk round the drydown into a smooth, skin-close finish. The result is a feminine floral-oriental that wears close to the skin — approachable and unhurried, shifting from bright fruit to warm musky wood over several hours.
