Notes Pyramid
Scent Journey
The fragrance opens with a photorealistic cappuccino accord, characterized by a creamy, slightly bitter roasted quality. The citrus notes of bergamot and mandarin orange provide a brief, sharp brightness that prevents the initial sweetness from becoming cloying.
After roughly 45 minutes, the coffee recedes slightly to allow a lush Rose Damascena and a minty geranium to emerge. This floral heart acts as a bridge, softening the transition from the gourmand opening to the heavier woody base.
The true character of the scent reveals itself in the drydown, where a smooth, non-animalic oud takes center stage. This is supported by the creamy sweetness of Madagascar vanilla and a clean white musk, providing a lingering, warm trail that lasts for hours.
Performance Dashboard
Exceptional staying power, frequently exceeding 8-10 hours on skin and days on fabric.
Projects significantly for the first 3-4 hours, maintaining a solid arm's length presence thereafter.
Strong scent trail that is noticeable without being overwhelming in open spaces.
