Notes Pyramid
Scent Journey
Bright, zesty mandarin orange combined with a sharp, herbal touch of sage and the metallic sweetness of saffron.
The transition into a dense, gourmand heart where the sweetness of caramel takes center stage, balanced by aromatic lavender and the earthy nuance of tagetes.
A lingering, warm base defined by synthetic musk (ambroxan), creamy cedar, and a persistent, sugary vanilla-caramel trail.
Performance Dashboard
8-10 hours on skin, with significantly longer duration on textiles.
Projects at arm's length, settling closer to the body after the initial hour.
Moderate sillage, leaving a distinct but not overwhelming trail for the first 3 hours.
