By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is fruity and luminous — apricot and osmanthus together creating a ripe, slightly peachy quality that feels sun-warmed. Osmanthus adds a leathery-floral edge that prevents the opening from reading as simply sweet.
The heart is full and richly floral: tuberose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, and rose build without becoming cloying, anchored by the depth below. Sandalwood and myrrh structure the base, while olibanum and benzoin add resinous density. Amber ties the base together in a warm, slightly smoky glow.
This is an opulent composition — rich florals on a substantial resinous base. It carries well and evolves noticeably, from bright fruit through creamy white florals into a warm balsamic drydown suited to cooler evenings.
