Scent Journey
The fragrance erupts with a crystalline, tart raspberry note that feels more like a chilled fruit coulis than a jammy sweet. The bergamot adds an effervescent, citrusy sparkle that prevents the fruit from feeling heavy, creating an immediate sense of modern luxury.
As the citrus recedes, the heart reveals a very clean, linear Agarwood. This is a 'white' oud—stripped of its medicinal and animalic facets, offering instead a dry, woody structure that provides a sophisticated backbone to the lingering raspberry.
The finale is dominated by the house's signature Ambroxan and a velvety white musk. It transforms into a salty, skin-like radiance that glows for hours, retaining a ghostly whisper of the woody-fruity accord.
Performance Dashboard
A solid 6 to 8 hours on skin, lasting significantly longer on fabric.
Projects consistently at arm's length for the first 2-3 hours.
Leaves a polite but noticeable trail that doesn't overwhelm a room.
