By the editors · 2 min readGinger and cardamom crackle open the composition with a peppery citrus flash that petitgrain sharpens into near-electric brightness. Jasmine and ylang-ylang surge quickly, their banana-custard richness fleshed out by rose, while civet growls underneath, turning the white floral swell slightly feral and skin-salty. Amber and vanilla arrive early, thickening the heart into a warm, resinous caramel that swallows the spices and smooths the musk into a fuzzy, cashmere-like haze. The dry-down stays close, a sweet amber-musk glow flecked with persistent civet growl, projecting no farther than forearm distance yet lasting well past midnight. Cool fall evenings and crowded film-premieres suit its intimate cinema-seat sillage.
