By the editors · 2 min readBasil and cardamom introduce a fresh-spicy and aromatic green opening, complemented by lemon's sharp citrus brightness. Tuberose and jasmine form a rich white-floral heart, with ylang-ylang adding a tropical sweetness and anise providing a licorice-like twist. Sandalwood and cedar create a woody base, smoothed by vanilla's sweetness and heliotrope's powdery almond character, while amber and musk add warmth and depth. The scent evolves from a spicy-citrus start to a floral-woody dry-down with powdery nuances. It projects moderately and lasts all day, making it versatile for spring or fall wear. Suitable for daytime or evening events, it offers a complex, elegant profile.
