By the editors · 2 min readGardenia and peach create a lush, creamy opening with galbanum's green bitterness providing contrast. Bergamot adds a fleeting citrus sharpness that quickly recedes into the floral heart. Orris and jasmine form a powdery floral core, while lily and rose add a honeyed floral richness. Sandalwood and vetiver bring an earthy, woody dryness to the base, balanced by amber's warmth. Leather adds a subtle, supple texture that prevents the dry-down from becoming too sweet. Projection is moderate initially but settles close to the skin after two hours, lasting seven hours through cooler evenings.
