Scent Journey
The fragrance opens with a bright, photorealistic burst of Italian mandarin and bergamot, accented by a dry, spicy kick of pink pepper that prevents the citrus from becoming too sweet.
After 30 minutes, the citrus recedes to reveal a prominent black tea note. This is supported by a clean, airy floral heart of lily of the valley and peony, creating a 'clean laundry' and high-end spa atmosphere.
The final stage is characterized by the earthy, herbal quality of mate and a structural cedarwood. The transition is seamless, maintaining a green, slightly smoky tea presence throughout.
Performance Dashboard
6+ hours on skin, significantly longer on clothing.
Strong for the first 2-3 hours before settling into a personal aura.
Moderate; creates a polite scent bubble without being intrusive.
