By the editors · 2 min readA house signature in concentrate. Ylang-ylang and violet open with a powdered, slightly creamy lift before the rose itself takes over.
The heart layers Bulgarian rose against jasmine and iris — the iris doing most of the structural work, lending that cool, root-cellar dryness that powdery florals need to avoid sweetness. Everything stays floral and feminine without crossing into perfumed-soap territory.
Tonka bean and benzoin warm the base into something balsamic and lightly vanillic, the kind of skin trail that lingers without insisting. A dressed-up rose for cool evenings.
