By the editors · 2 min readOrris and magnolia greet first, a cool violet-floral hush dusted with pink pepper’s electric snap. Osmanthus soon folds in, its apricot-leather nuance bridging the icy iris to the incoming vanilla. Madagascar vanilla pod and vetiver root darken the heart, turning the composition from airy petals to blond woods smudged with earthy smoke. Amber and cedar swell underneath, warming the vanilla until it smells like singed crème brûlée rather than candy. Musk sheathes everything in a second-skin haze that keeps projection polite but persistence steady. The scent reads autumn afternoon rather than tropical night, equally suited to tailored cashmere or a silk dress at gallery wine hour.
