Scent Journey
The first 30 minutes are a vibrant explosion of spicy citrus. The tangerine provides a fleeting brightness that is immediately anchored by the sharp, herbal bite of cypress and the unique, licorice-like sweetness of star anise. It is an assertive opening that demands attention.
As the heart emerges (1-2 hours), the fragrance transitions into a sophisticated floral-smoky territory. The lavender and orange blossom provide a clean, soapy counterpoint to the rising incense and earthy vetiver. This stage is where the fragrance finds its elegance.
After 4 hours, the scent settles into its most addictive phase. The creaminess of sandalwood and vanilla mingles with the 'fuzzy' warmth of cashmere wood. The musk ensures the scent remains skin-intimate yet detectable, leaving a smooth, leathery trail.
