By the editors · 2 min readCitrus notes of orange and grapefruit open with bright effervescence, quickly met by raspberry's fruity sweetness. Jasmine and violet introduce a powdery floral heart that softens the initial zest. Sandalwood and guaiac wood provide a creamy woody base, while incense and olibanum add resinous depth with subtle smokiness. Saffron and cardamom weave warm-spicy accents throughout the dry-down, which becomes increasingly musky and earthy from oakmoss and orris. Projection remains moderate for several hours before settling close to skin, suited for evening wear in cooler seasons.
