Scent Journey
The first 0-30 minutes reveal a surprising burst of creamy tuberose laced with a saline touch. The salt adds an unexpected savory edge that keeps the white floral from becoming cloying, creating an intriguing, almost oceanic opening.
After 1-2 hours, the tuberose softens, making way for a warm amber and cashmeran heart. The sweetness of tonka bean emerges, wrapping the composition in a cozy, almond-like richness. The fragrance becomes more rounded and inviting.
From 4+ hours, the base takes over: dry cedarwood, sticky labdanum, and earthy vetiver. A subtle animalic musk lingers, giving the scent a sensual, skin-like quality that lasts for hours.
