By the editors · 2 min readTonka bean dominates the opening with its warm, slightly bitter almond facet that quickly folds into myrrh's resinous sweetness. The heart reveals osmanthus lending an apricot-leather nuance that prevents the amber accord from becoming too syrupy. As the composition settles, the musk amplifies the amber's diffusive quality while maintaining the myrrh's church-incense dryness. The dry-down remains linear: tonka's hay-like sweetness anchored by amber's resinous glow with musk providing skin-hugging warmth. Projection stays moderate with soft sillage that hovers within arm's length, making it office-friendly yet sensual enough for evening wear.
