By the editors · 2 min readYlang-ylang and violet open with a sweet floralcy that feels both tropical and powdery. Heliotrope and iris intensify the powdery character, creating a soft, cosmetic-like heart accord. Incense and olibanum introduce a resinous smokiness that contrasts the floral sweetness in the base. Patchouli adds an earthy grounding note that prevents the dry-down from becoming too ethereal. The scent evolves from floral-powdery to a smoky, slightly resinous finish over three hours. Projection remains moderate and close to the skin, with longevity lasting through the afternoon. Best worn in cooler weather for evening or special occasions where its unique blend stands out.
