By the editors · 2 min readTuberose and ylang-ylang open with immediate richness, the peach adding a soft, slightly lactonic edge. Rose is present from the start, weaving through the top before jasmine and lily of the valley deepen the bouquet in the heart.
Civet pushes through steadily, lending a distinctly animalic warmth that would have read as skin-like to earlier noses. Sandalwood provides a smooth, dry cradle for the musk and civet to rest against.
The result is an intensely floral composition that carries unmistakable animalic depth. Rose and jasmine remain legible throughout, but it is the interplay of civet, sandalwood, and the dense floral core that defines the character.
