Scent Journey
A vibrant burst of cinnamon and pink pepper, brightened by bergamot. It's a sharp, inviting introduction to the rich complexity that follows.
The heart unfolds with opulent Jasmine Sambac and Rose Absolute, beautifully blended with the distinct aroma of oud and warm clove. This phase is deeply sensual and complex.
A warm, enveloping base of honey, amber, creamy sandalwood, cedarwood, and a subtle musk. The drydown is sophisticated, long-lasting, and luxurious.
