Scent Journey
The first 0–30 minutes leads with Italian mandarin orange and jasmine sambac. The citrus is bright rather than sharp, and the jasmine adds a clean floral lift before the lilac takes over.
At 1–2 hours, the heart is dominated by French lilac and wisteria. The effect is airy, powdery, and fresh, with the wisteria adding a slightly green, watery floral quality.
After 4 hours, the composition settles into musk, tonka bean, and blond woods. The finish is soft, close to the skin, and lightly powdery-woody rather than sweet or heavy.
