By the editors · 2 min readPear and bergamot open with a juicy fruity-citrus burst that feels bright and slightly sweet. Cinnamon quickly adds a warm spicy edge, while jasmine and Damask rose introduce a floral heart with plum's fruity depth. Lily of the valley lends a green freshness to balance the richness. Madagascar vanilla and caramel create a sweet gourmand base, amber adds warmth, and heliotrope enhances the powdery sweetness. Cedar and musk provide a dry woody-musky foundation. The scent evolves from fruity-spicy to a vanillic caramel dry-down with moderate projection. Longevity is good for daytime wear in cooler seasons.
