By the editors · 2 min readStar anise provides a warm, licorice-like spicy opening that is immediately distinctive and slightly sweet. Black currant adds a dark, jammy fruity accent that complements the spice without becoming overly gourmand. Lily, violet, and rose form a soft, powdery floral heart that feels romantic and slightly vintage in character. Sandalwood offers a creamy, smooth woody base, while amber and vanilla add a warm, sweet resinous foundation. The fragrance evolves from a spicy fruity opening into a powdery floral with a warm, vanillic dry-down that is cozy and comforting. It projects moderately and lasts around six to eight hours, making it suitable for fall and winter evenings or dates.
