The heart blooms into a dense white-floral bouquet: tuberose and ylang-ylang lead, jasmine and orange blossom widen the chord, and rose anchors it in something more classical. The effect is opulent and slightly waxy, like an overfilled vase rather than a single stem.
Sandalwood, amber, and musk in the base soften the floral mass into a creamy, persistent aura. The overall character is unabashedly grand — a dressed-up scent that wears best when the weather and the occasion give it room.
