By the editors · 2 min readViolet leaf introduces a crisp, green opening that quickly melds with the dewy floralcy of jasmine and rose. Bulgarian rose deepens the floral heart, while lily of the valley adds a tender, almost aqueous quality to the bouquet. Sandalwood begins its presence early, imparting a creamy woodiness that grounds the florals. The base reveals a more animalic character through leather and castoreum, complemented by ambergris's saline warmth and cedar's dry wood. Patchouli reinforces the earthy, slightly rugged undertone that contrasts with the delicate florals. Projection is moderate but persistent, evolving significantly over six hours into a musky, skin-hugging scent ideal for formal evenings in cool weather.
