By the editors · 2 min readSaffron and pink pepper create an opening that is both spicy and slightly metallic, with a warm aromatic edge. Mimosa and black currant emerge quickly, adding a soft floral-fruity heart that tempers the initial spice. Tonka bean and vanilla form a sweet, creamy base that gradually becomes more prominent as the top notes fade. The composition evolves noticeably over two hours, moving from spicy-aromatic to softly sweet and powdery. Projection remains moderate throughout, making it suitable for daytime wear in spring or fall. Longevity reaches about five hours before becoming a skin scent.
