Scent Journey
The first 0-30 minutes burst with sparkling lemon and mandarin, immediately sweetened by ripe guava and peach. It is juicy, bright, and almost tropical, with a fizzy, energetic quality that feels like a splash of sunshine.
After about an hour, the heart emerges: a creamy blend of jasmine, tuberose, and lily, softened by the cooling, green freshness of aloe. The licorice note adds an aromatic, slightly spicy sweetness that cuts through the florals, preventing the composition from becoming too heady or powdery.
Four hours in, the fragrance settles into a soft, skin-hugging base of sandalwood, musk, and cedarwood. The woods are light and clean, with the musk adding a subtle warmth. The overall impression is fresh, slightly sweet, and comforting, though projection becomes minimal.
