By the editors · 2 min readGardenia opens with a creamy and rich white floral character that possesses a slight indolic depth without becoming overpowering. Bulgarian rose adds a classical floral heart that blends seamlessly, enhancing the floral bouquet with its velvety texture. Leather emerges in the base, introducing a dry and supple tannic quality that contrasts with the floral sweetness above it. Vanilla provides a soft and warm sweet undertone that smooths the transition into the dry-down, preventing the leather from becoming too austere. The scent maintains a balanced tension between floral opulence and leathery sophistication for over six hours. Projection is moderate, making it suitable for evening wear or formal events in cooler weather.
