By the editors · 2 min readLime and bergamot open with a sharp citrus burst that quickly settles into a fresh aromatic aura. Lavender emerges as the heart note, providing a clean herbal contrast to the bright top accords. Tonka bean and amber develop a warm, resinous sweetness that blends smoothly with earthy patchouli in the base. The dry-down becomes a balanced blend of warm amber and dry woody textures with a subtle vanillic undertone. Projection starts moderate but recedes to a skin-close scent within three hours, offering good longevity for evening wear. Best suited for fall and winter evenings, this scent carries a confident yet intimate presence.
