The heart's gurjun balsam, tonka bean, and patchouli form a smooth resinous accord: gently sweet, earthy, and deep without heaviness. Gurjun adds soft balsamic warmth; tonka brings creamy depth; patchouli provides the earthy underpinning that prevents the composition from reading as purely sweet.
Sandalwood, labdanum, vanilla, and cedarwood in the base build graduated warmth, each note reinforcing rather than redirecting. A cocooning, contemplative fragrance from Floraïku's Japanese-inspired Parisian house — Sophie Labbé's construction is quiet, precise, and wears with low-profile persistence.
