By the editors · 2 min readLemon and bergamot lift a creamy ylang-peach opening — citrus that reads as garnish, not subject. The heart is jasmine, rose and narcissus laid over a violet softness, but the real signature is what's underneath: a thick, almost sweetened sandalwood that takes over within an hour and stays for most of the wear.
Tonka, vanilla and amber thread through the base alongside iris and a soft musk, giving the woods a rounded, slightly milky character. It projects firmly in the first hour and then settles to a close, creamy radiance — an oriental-floral built around sandalwood rather than spice or smoke.
