By the editors · 2 min readJasmine dominates the heart with a plush, waxy yellow-floral creaminess that immediately swells and softens the sharper plum skin. Plum’s bruised-purple sweetness adds a jammy weight, letting heliotne’s powdered almond facet bloom like violet-scented talc while patchouli contributes a cool, loamy undertone that reins in the sugars. As the heart calms, sandalwood’s milk steers the composition toward a woody skin scent, cinnamon’s dry bark flickers heat through the ambered labdanum, and a whisper of dry tobacco leaf drifts in, lending a faintly smoky, leathery hush rather than full barn smoke. The dry-down stays close, a velvety amber-wood glow with persistent plum-jasmine residue that keeps the profile rounded. Moderate sillage for six hours; office-friendly in cool weather, comforting at night.
