By the editors · 2 min readLemon and bergamot deliver a sharp citrus opening that quickly softens into a floral-powdery heart. Jasmine and rose provide a classic floral core, while iris contributes a distinct powdery texture that defines the mid-phase. The base shifts toward warmth with tonka bean and vanilla offering sweet resinous notes alongside labdanum and opoponax's balsamic depth. This creates a rich, ambery dry-down that retains a powdery floral character throughout its evolution. Sillage is moderate initially, settling closer to the skin after two hours with longevity extending over seven hours. Suitable for fall and winter evenings, it offers a balanced blend of freshness and warmth.
