Scent Journey
The fragrance opens with a sharp, syrupy cherry note balanced by the citrus bite of mandarin orange. The pink pepper provides an immediate spicy lift, while the marshmallow note adds a sugary, airy texture that prevents the fruit from becoming overly tart.
After approximately 60 minutes, the heart reveals a sophisticated floral-spice blend. Saffron introduces a leathery, slightly metallic edge that matures the scent, while the orris provides a buttery, powdery foundation that bridges the gap between the fruit and the woods.
The final stage, occurring after 4 hours, is dominated by a warm, resinous trail. Frankincense and guaiac wood provide a smoky, structural depth, while the amber and vanilla sustain the initial sweetness, resulting in a persistent, musky skin scent.

Strong in the first 2 hours, particularly the spicy-cherry notes, before settling into a consistent arm's-length bubble.
