By the editors · 2 min readJasmine, plum, and clove create a rich, spicy-fruity opening that feels opulent and slightly exotic. Bergamot adds a fleeting citrus brightness that quickly melds into a floral heart dominated by rose and lily of the valley. Sandalwood and patchouli provide a creamy-woody base that grounds the spices and fruits without heaviness. Cinnamon and peach lend a warm, sweet accent that persists into the dry-down, where benzoin, amber, and vanilla add resinous depth. Coconut offers a subtle tropical nuance that enhances the sweetness without overt creaminess. Projection is strong for three hours, settling into a complex, long-lasting skin scent ideal for evening wear in cooler seasons.
