Ylang-ylang and grapefruit open the composition with a creamy-bitter contrast, the ylang already tropical-warm, the grapefruit cutting through with rind.

The heart goes spice-and-floral: cinnamon braids with jasmine, lily-of-the-valley and iris, the iris lending a powdery, slightly retro feel. The composition takes on the temperature of a vintage drawer — warm, dusty, decisively classical.
Labdanum, benzoin, sandalwood, amber and patchouli form a deep ambery floor, balsamic and slightly resinous. Overall character: a cinnamon-iris floriental with a vintage spine. The spice runs continuously through every phase. There's a sun-warmed fullness to the bouquet. The iris keeps the composition cool-tempered throughout.
