Accords
Notes Pyramid
Scent Journey
Estimated from the listed top notes: Star Anise, Cassis, and Lemon Verbena should create a soft-spicy, fruity-citrus first impression. The anise is likely to read as a gentle spice rather than a heavy licorice note, with cassis adding rounded fruitiness and lemon verbena keeping the top fresh.
Estimated: Peony, Rose, and Magnolia form a soft floral heart, with rose as the central voice. Peony adds an airy floral quality, and magnolia gives a creamy lift. The soft-spicy opening should recede into the background rather than disappear completely.
Estimated: Taif Rose lingers as a soft, powdery rose base. On an EDT concentration, the drydown is expected to sit close to the skin, with estimated 4-6 hour longevity and moderate projection for the first 1-2 hours.
