By the editors · 2 min readA bustling citrus opening of petitgrain, lemon, and grapefruit is immediately complicated by black currant's tart fruitiness, creating a vibrant and slightly green introduction. Gardenia, tuberose, and jasmine form a rich, heady white-floral heart that is both creamy and intensely narcotic, supported by ylang-ylang's tropical sweetness. Guaiac wood and benzoin add a smoky, balsamic depth that transitions into a complex base of leather, civet, and castoreum for a pronounced animalic character. Sandalwood and oakmoss provide a dry, woody foundation that grounds the scent, while vanilla and peach offer a faint sweet counterpoint. This fragrance evolves dramatically over hours, moving from bright to floral to animalic with bold projection and strong sillage. Best reserved for evening wear in cooler weather, its intense and opulent nature suits formal or special occasions.
