By the editors · 2 min readStar anise dominates the opening with a sharp, licorice-like herbal and soft-spicy character. Pear and mandarin add a juicy fruity sweetness that tempers the spice. Peony and rose provide a soft floral background, while sandalwood offers a creamy woody base. Vanilla and musk create a sweet and musky dry-down that feels warm and comforting. The scent is sweet and linear, with minimal evolution from the spicy top to the creamy base. It projects intimately with moderate longevity, suited for fall and winter casual or date nights in cool to cold weather.
