Scent Journey
The first spray is a burst of high-quality, herbaceous lavender. It is bright, slightly camphoraceous, and instantly clearing, feeling like a fresh breeze through a French field.
After fifteen minutes, the sharpness of the lavender softens as the Ylang-Ylang emerges. This provides a subtle, creamy floral heart that bridges the gap between the herb and the sweetness to come.
The true magic happens in the drydown. The Tonka bean and Benzoin create a 'malted' effect—sweet, resinous, and slightly powdery, reminiscent of warm milk and honeyed resins.
