Accords
Notes Pyramid
Scent Journey
The opening bursts with a vibrant, fruity-citrus cocktail. Pineapple dominates, its juicy sweetness amplified by bergamot and tangerine. A cool, metallic 'Blue Crystal' accord adds a modern, fresh facet. This phase lasts 20-30 minutes and projects intensely.
As the top notes recede, the heart reveals a classic chypre structure. Oakmoss provides an earthy, green depth, while vanilla flower adds a soft, powdery sweetness. Plum introduces a dark, fruity nuance that bridges the fruity top and the woody base. The composition becomes more rounded and sophisticated.
The base is a warm, woody-ambery blend. Patchouli is prominent, earthy and slightly camphoraceous, supported by amber and tonka bean. A 'white powder' note gives a clean, musky finish. The drydown lasts 8+ hours on skin and days on clothing.
Performance Dashboard
8-10+ hours on skin, especially on clothing. Users report excellent tenacity.
Strong projection for the first 2-3 hours, then moderate. Some users find it slightly lighter than the original CDNIM EDT.
Strong sillage; leaves a noticeable trail.

Layering Ideas
- Layer with a simple vanilla or amber fragrance to enhance the sweet, powdery base.
- For a fresher vibe, layer with a light citrus cologne like Bergamote 22.
- Avoid layering with other strong fragrances; this extrait is potent enough on its own.
