Scent Journey
The first 30 minutes open with a bright, sparkling citrus-green blend of mandarin essence and petitgrain Bigarade essence. The mandarin brings a juicy, slightly sweet brightness, while petitgrain adds a green, slightly bitter edge that keeps the opening fresh and lifted.
After 1-2 hours, the heart reveals a lush, opulent floral core. Centifolia rose infusion from Grasse is the star, offering a rich, honeyed, and slightly spicy rose. Ylang-ylang essence adds a creamy, exotic floralcy with subtle banana-like and jasmine-like nuances.
From 4 hours onward, the base anchors the composition with earthy, woody, and ambery tones. Vetiver essence provides a smoky, grassy depth, patchouli essence adds a dark, slightly camphoraceous earthiness, and ambery woods wrap everything in a warm, resinous, and slightly gourmand glow.
