By the editors · 2 min readNeroli and bergamot open with a citrus clarity quickly softened by jasmine, which anchors the composition from the first minutes. Ylang-ylang adds a honeyed, slightly waxy weight alongside the orange blossom.
The heart is dense — sandalwood, vetiver, iris, patchouli, and rose layer into a richly textured floral bouquet with earthy underpinnings. Heliotrope pushes a powdery-sweet thread through the florals, while vanilla warms the blend from underneath.
Tonka bean and musk in the base soften the earthier elements into something smooth and rounded. The result is a full, multi-layered floral with powdery warmth — complex but coherent, built around jasmine throughout.
