By the editors · 2 min readNeroli and jasmine introduce a rich floral bouquet deepened by ylang-ylang’s tropical creaminess. Iris and violet contribute a powdery texture that contrasts with narcissus’ green intensity and rose’s classic elegance. Sandalwood and oakmoss form a woody-mossy base enriched by animalic civet and castoreum alongside resinous labdanum and myrrh. Vanilla adds a soft sweetness that balances the animalic accents in the complex dry-down. Projection is substantial initially, settling to moderate sillage over four hours. Best for formal evening wear in cool weather, this composition demands confidence due to its bold animalic and powdery interplay.
