By the editors · 2 min readYlang-ylang and bergamot create an opulent, slightly tropical floral-citrus opening that is immediately rich and complex. Galbanum introduces a sharp green accent that cuts through the sweetness, while rose adds a classic floral depth to the heart. Tuberose and lily amplify the white floral character, creating a creamy and narcotic bouquet that dominates the mid-development. Opoponax and benzoin in the base provide a balsamic sweetness that melds with sandalwood's creamy wood and oakmoss's earthy chypre quality. Patchouli adds an earthy grounding note, and vanilla offers a soft sweetness that smooths the dry-down. This is a bold, evolving scent with significant sillage that lasts over twelve hours. Ideal for formal evening occasions in cooler seasons.
