Scent Journey
The fragrance opens with a sharp, photorealistic hazelnut note balanced by the citrus-like zing of Timur pepper. The pink pepper adds a dry, rosy heat that prevents the hazelnut from feeling overly confectionary.
As the initial spice settles, a floral heart of jasmine and rose emerges, though they remain secondary to a creamy, powdery orris. The vanilla begins to warm up during this stage, bridging the gap between the nuts and the florals.
The final phase is dominated by a high-quality vanilla absolute and labdanum. The woody notes provide a sturdy backbone, while the musk ensures the scent remains skin-like and persistent for hours.
