By the editors · 2 min readIris dominates the opening, its cool powder sheen dusted with violet and rose to create a matte purple-grey veil. Bergamot flashes briefly underneath, metallic rather than juicy, before incense swells up through the petals, turning the iris dry and church-cool. Pink pepper crackles at the edges, giving the smoke a papery rustle, while patchouli adds a muted earthy-brown base that keeps the composition grounded. Vanilla and white musk arrive late, softening the incense but never sweetening it; ambergris lends a quiet marine-skin warmth that lingers close. Projection stays polite, a translucent haze perfect for cool spring days or an air-conditioned office. Wear it where you want a refined, introspective aura rather than a statement.
