By the editors · 2 min readThe heart opens directly on tuberose, jasmine, and ylang-ylang — a dense, creamy white floral trio that makes no apologies for its richness. Ylang-ylang brings a slightly heady, rubbery quality that keeps this from being a simple clean floral; alongside jasmine's indolic edge, the combination leans distinctly animalic.
Ambergris in the base gives a warm, faintly salty undertow, anchoring the florals without smothering them. White musk extends the drydown into something gauzy and skin-close. The composition is essentially linear — it doesn't transform dramatically, but the interplay between the florals and the ambergris adds quiet tension.
Best suited to evenings when something unambiguously sensual and close-wearing is appropriate.
