By the editors · 2 min readYlang-ylang opens with a rich, banana-like floral sweetness, while ambrette seed adds a musky, skin-like quality from the start. Benzoin introduces a vanillic, balsamic warmth that deepens the floral core. Civet provides a distinct animalic growl, blending with a pronounced musk accord that forms the scent's backbone. Amber wraps the composition in a soft, resinous glow, enhancing its sensual and intimate character. The scent is linear and focused on musky-animalic warmth with a floral sweetness. It sits very close to the skin with minimal sillage but good persistence, suited for evening wear in cooler seasons.
