Scent Journey

1
Opening 0-30 min

The first 0-30 minutes opens with juicy fig, brightened by lavender and a green touch of lily of the valley. The lavender adds a clean, slightly aromatic facet that keeps the fig from becoming too sweet.

2
Heart 1-2 hrs

At 1-2 hours, the heart reveals matcha's earthy, tea-like quality, softened by powdery violet and a warm hint of cardamom. The composition becomes more nuanced and calming.

3
Drydown 4+ hrs

After 4+ hours, the base settles into creamy sandalwood, amber, and a subtle patchouli that lingers close to the skin. The drydown is soft, warm, and intimate.
