By the editors · 2 min readPear and bergamot open with a juicy, bright fruitiness accented by pink pepper's soft-spicy shimmer. Orange blossom adds a sweet floralcy that bridges the top to the heart where tuberose blooms with creamy intensity. Coffee provides a dark, slightly bitter contrast that cuts through the floral sweetness without overwhelming it. Vanilla and white musk in the base create a soft, sweet foundation that blends with cedar's dry wood and patchouli's earthy depth. The dry-down is a warm, sweet, and slightly earthy blend with persistent floral undertones. Sillage is strong initially, projecting arm's length for two hours before settling closer to skin. Longevity extends to eight hours, best for fall and winter evenings in cool to cold weather.
