By the editors · 2 min readBergamot and ylang-ylang open together — the citrus bright and brief, the ylang rich and slightly creamy, setting an immediately lush tone. Tuberose takes over in the heart, full-bodied and insistent, joined by jasmine's heady sweetness and rose adding structure. The floral core is dense and unapologetically opulent.
Sandalwood and patchouli anchor the base with warm earthiness, while vetiver introduces a rooty dryness that offsets the richness above. Vanilla remains quiet, softening rather than sweetening the drydown. The transition from white florals to earthy woods is gradual and well-supported.
This is a bold floral oriental — tuberose-forward with deep, grounding base notes, suited to evening wear in cool weather.
