Scent Journey

1
Opening 0-30 min

The first 0-30 minutes are dominated by a sharp, bitter almond that is quickly softened by a delicate rose. The initial impression is both nutty and floral, with a hint of sweetness that hints at what's to come.

2
Heart 1-2 hrs

After about an hour, the heart emerges with a juicy cherry that is both tart and sweet, complemented by jasmine's indolic floralcy. A subtle vetiver adds an earthy, green undertone that balances the sweetness, creating a complex and intriguing middle phase.

3
Drydown 4+ hrs

Four hours in, the fragrance settles into a warm, creamy base of vanilla and tonka bean, with amber providing a resinous depth and oakmoss adding a touch of mossy earthiness. The cherry and almond linger softly, making the drydown comforting and addictive.
