Scent Journey
The first spray is a vibrant explosion of tart purple plum and a sharp, crystalline ozonic breeze. It feels like a cool morning in a citrus grove, where the air is still crisp but the sun is beginning to warm the fruit.
After thirty minutes, the heart reveals its true character. The hazelnut note is creamy and toasted, swirling into a pool of golden honey. The white florals add a clean, ethereal lift that prevents the sweetness from becoming cloying.
As the hours pass, the fragrance settles into a sophisticated woody base. The cashmere wood and cedar provide a plush, tactile warmth, while the oakmoss and vetiver offer a masculine, earthy grounding that lingers beautifully on the skin.
Performance Dashboard
6-8 hours of reliable wear on skin, lasting even longer on clothing.
Projects well for the first 2 hours before settling into an intimate aura.
Moderate; creates a pleasant scent bubble without overwhelming the space.
