By the editors · 2 min readA warm, skin-pressed vanilla that gets there without taking a long route. Ylang-ylang at the top is brief and creamy, a banana-floral note that softens the entry rather than asserting itself.
At the heart, vanilla, tonka bean and white musk fuse into a single sweet-amber haze — vanilla doing the heavy lifting, tonka sweetening the corners with hay and almond, musk lending the close warmth of bare skin in the sun.
Vetiver underneath keeps it from going dessert-shop, adding a thin earthy bitterness that anchors the gourmand sweetness to something more grown-up. Worn close, lingering, more bedroom than ballroom — a quiet fall and winter fragrance built around comfort rather than projection.
