Scent Journey
Bourbon vanilla opens rich, dark, and sweet, with a syrupy warmth that immediately signals an evening scent.
Siam benzoin expands the heart with balsamic, resinous depth, softening the vanilla and adding a powdery, amber-like glow.
Oud (agarwood) anchors the base for 4+ hours, bringing dry wood, resin, and a serious, seductive finish.
Performance Dashboard
8+ hours on most skin; can exceed 10 hours on clothing.
Heavy; noticeable at arm’s length and beyond for the first few hours.
Strong; leaves a noticeable trail without being uncontrolled.
