Scent Journey
The first 0-30 minutes open with a bright, slightly citrusy orange and rose, softened by a musky undertone. It's fresh yet sweet, with a hint of powdery softness.
After 1-2 hours, the heart reveals a warm, amber-rich core with woods and vanilla. The rose remains present but takes a backseat to the creamy, resinous amber and soft woods.
From 4 hours onward, the base of rose, musk, and orange blossom lingers close to the skin. The scent becomes a soft, powdery, and musky skin scent, with the orange blossom adding a subtle floral sweetness. As noted, it 'narrows as the day goes on,' becoming more intimate.
Performance Dashboard
