By the editors · 2 min readAmber and vanilla open thick and resinous, immediately folding iris’s cool starchiness into a warm, creamy paste. The heart keeps violet’s faintly woody ionone facet pressed against iris powder, so the sweet amber never turns custardy; instead it reads as a suede-soft amber glow. Opoponax in the base adds a myrrh-like bittersweet smoke that stretches the accord into dusk, letting the vanilla dry to a blond wood rather than dessert. On skin the scent stays close, projecting a muted amber halo for several hours before collapsing into a skin-warmed vanilla trace. Cool evenings and smart-casual settings suit its restrained opulence.
