By the editors · 2 min readStar anise and pink pepper deliver a sharp, spicy opening with a warm, aromatic edge. Bergamot adds a citrus brightness that cuts through the initial spice intensity. Jasmine and ylang-ylang provide a rich floral heart, with rose contributing a soft, powdery accent. Vanilla and tonka bean create a sweet, creamy base enhanced by ambroxan's musky warmth and musk's clean depth. The scent shifts from spicy-citric to a sweet, floral-ambery dry-down over time. It has strong projection and longevity, suited for evening or special occasions in cooler weather.
