Scent Journey
The first 0-30 minutes: A sparkling overture of juicy pear and tart cassis, with a bright squeeze of lemon. The fruits are vivid and slightly green, creating a refreshing and energetic start.
1-2 hours (heart): The heart blooms with a soft, feminine floral bouquet. Peach blossom adds a fruity nuance, while jasmine and lily-of-the-valley contribute a clean, white floral elegance. Artemisia and davana introduce a subtle herbal, almost tea-like quality, adding depth and complexity.
4+ hours: As the fragrance settles, the base emerges with creamy vanilla, earthy patchouli, and soft moss. Cedar provides a woody backbone, while the vanilla sweetens the composition, leaving a warm, comforting trail. The drydown is intimate and skin-like, lingering softly.
