By the editors · 2 min readBergamot and gardenia lead the opening — clean citrus undercut by a soft, creamy white floral that gives the top unusual warmth. The transition into the heart is smooth: jasmine, peony, and rose form a full, rounded floral core with no sharp angles.
Patchouli, amber, sandalwood, tonka bean, and musk build the base into something substantial. The patchouli reads as earthy rather than dark, and amber keeps the warmth approachable. This is a structured floral oriental — the florals are prominent but the base materials push back with enough weight to give the composition depth and staying power across its wear.
