Scent Journey
The first 30 minutes reveal a sparkling trio of cardamom, rose, and saffron. The cardamom adds a peppery freshness, while saffron lends a leathery, metallic warmth, and rose emerges as a velvety floral note.
After 1-2 hours, the heart unfolds with a lush bouquet of rose and lily. The rose becomes more pronounced, deep and jammy, while lily adds a green, slightly powdery facet. The spices recede, allowing the florals to shine.
From 4 hours onwards, the base notes dominate: cashmere wood provides a creamy, woody warmth, agarwood (oud) adds a smoky, animalic depth, incense introduces a resinous, mystical quality, and peach offers a subtle fruity sweetness that softens the composition.
