By the editors · 2 min readMelon and orange create an unusual fruity-citrus opening that feels both fresh and slightly sweet upon initial application. Cardamom introduces a green-aromatic spice that bridges the top notes to the heart's warm cinnamon and clove accord. Jasmine and rose provide a floral core that is subtly powdery from heliotrope's almond-like character. Sandalwood offers a creamy woody base amplified by patchouli's earthy depth and amber's resinous warmth alongside civet's animalic musk. The fragrance transitions from fruity-spicy to a woody-ambery animalic dry-down over three hours of wear. Projection remains moderate with good longevity for evening wear in cooler seasons, best for dates or formal occasions in fall and winter.
