6-8 hours
Projects robustly for the first 1-2 hours, creating an alluring aura of approximately arm's length, before settling into a more intimate, yet still detectable, scent bubble.
A confident and noticeable scent trail that is present but not overwhelming. It announces your arrival with grace rather than aggression.

Layering Ideas
- To amplify the creamy base, layer with a simple, linear vanilla fragrance like Molinard Vanille.
- To enhance the woody heart, a light application of a dry, iso-e-super heavy scent such as Escentric Molecules Molecule 01 can add a modern, airy dimension.
