By the editors · 2 min readGardenia and jasmine create an intense, creamy white-floral opening with a indolic richness. There is no top note development, so the floral heart dominates from the first application. Sandalwood provides a soft, creamy woody base that supports the floral intensity without adding sharpness. Amber adds a warm, slightly powdery resinous quality that blends with the florals. Patchouli contributes an earthy depth that prevents the composition from becoming overly sweet or linear. It projects strongly with a lush floral character, suited for evening wear in warmer seasons.
