After 1-2 hours, the heart reveals vanilla, ginger, and cocoa. The vanilla is creamy and sweet, the ginger adds a warm spicy kick, and the cocoa deepens the gourmand character with a chocolate-like nuance.

At 4+ hours, the base of sandalwood, musk, and tonka bean takes over. The sandalwood provides a creamy woody foundation, the musk adds a soft skin-like warmth, and the tonka bean contributes a sweet, almond-like richness.
