Bulgarian rose and raspberry meet in the heart with lily of the valley providing a green counterpoint. Fig leaf threads a faintly milky, green quality through the mid-section, keeping the sweetness from becoming heavy.
Oud, amber, vanilla, patchouli, and caramel converge in the base into a rich, dark sweetness. The caramel reads as prominent without becoming dessert-like — anchored by oud and patchouli that add depth and resinous texture. This is a warm, sweet oriental with good structural contrast.
