By the editors · 2 min readBlood orange and lychee open with a clean, juicy brightness that reads more tart than sweet. The transition is quick — jasmine and rose surface without much fanfare, carrying a soft floral warmth that feels restrained rather than full-throated.
As the base develops, tonka bean, vanilla, and benzoin take over, pulling everything toward a creamy, lightly balsamic drydown. Sandalwood and patchouli give structure without turning the composition earthy. Cedar keeps it from going entirely soft.
The overall feel is a fruity-floral sitting over a warm, smooth base. It wears close to skin and leans toward intimate occasions in cooler seasons without feeling especially heavy.
