By the editors · 2 min readLemon and bergamot open with a bright citrus burst tempered by clary sage's aromatic greenness. Jasmine and ylang-ylang create a rich floral heart, while violet adds a powdery texture. The base is complex with sandalwood's creaminess, oakmoss's earthy depth, and animalic civet and castoreum. Vanilla and tonka bean provide sweet resinous undertones alongside patchouli's earthy dryness. Projection is strong initially but settles into a sophisticated skin scent over hours. Longevity is exceptional, lasting well beyond twelve hours on skin. This composition suits formal evening wear in cooler seasons, offering depth and classic elegance.
