By the editors · 2 min readJasmine and orange blossom create a creamy white-floral opening that feels almost peach-skin plush against the bright bergamot flash. Within minutes the heart folds in tuberose’s rubbery sweetness and ylang-ylang’s banana-like lactone, thickening the texture while plum adds a bruised-fruit darkness that keeps the bouquet from turning soapy. Cinnamon and nutmeg arrive early, riding the florals’ warmth so the spice reads as toasted rather than sharp, and a ribbon of vanilla begins to pull the composition toward an ambered oriental base. Dry-down is sandalwood dominant: creamy, slightly dry, with frankincense lending a quiet church-bench smoke and vetiver supplying just enough rooty lift to stop the vanilla-tonka from becoming syrupy. Projection stays within arm’s length for six hours, then settles to a skin-glow of spiced wood suitable for cool autumn offices or an indoor dinner date.
