Scent Journey
The initial spray is a concentrated burst of black currant liqueur—dark, syrupy, and sophisticated—brightened only slightly by a flicker of bergamot that quickly yields to the deepening shadows.
As the heart emerges, the fragrance takes a turn into the mystical. Silver threads of incense weave through the apricot-like velvet of osmanthus, creating a texture that feels like heavy silk against the skin.
The finale is a masterclass in resinous warmth. A thick, glowing amber melds with the balsamic sweetness of benzoin and a grounded patchouli, leaving a trail of creamy vanilla that lingers for hours.
Performance Dashboard
A dependable 6 to 8 hours on skin, significantly longer on textiles.
Good projection for the first two hours, settling into an intimate, high-quality scent bubble.
Moderate and sophisticated; it creates a personal aura rather than filling a room.
