Scent Journey
The first 0-30 minutes burst with citrus and fruity notes: grapefruit, mandarin, bergamot, apple, peach, pear, and tangerine create a bright, juicy opening that is both refreshing and sweet.
After 1-2 hours, the heart emerges with a floral bouquet of rose, jasmine, orchid, and geranium, adding a soft, romantic character that balances the initial fruitiness.
In the drydown (4+ hours), the base of sandalwood, cedarwood, patchouli, and musk provides a warm, woody, and slightly sweet foundation, with a subtle oriental touch from the cedar and sandal.
