By the editors · 2 min readLemon provides a sharp citrus opening that is quickly enveloped by osmanthus's fruity floral and rose's rich sweetness. Jasmine and ylang-ylang add a narcotic white-floral depth, while patchouli contributes an earthy green counterpoint. The base is complex with sandalwood's creaminess, civet's animalic warmth, ambergris's salty musk, and amber's resinous glow. Vanilla and saffron introduce a soft spicy sweetness that balances the composition's intensity. Evolution is significant over six to eight hours, moving from floral citrus to a animalic amber dry-down. Sillage is strong and lasting, ideal for formal evenings in cool weather.
