Scent Journey
Plum and freesia lead with a fruity-floral lift. The opening is sweet and slightly jammy rather than citrus-fresh, with freesia adding a clean floral edge.
Madagascar vanilla and tuberose take over after the first 30 minutes. The heart is plush, creamy and gourmand, with a powdery floral texture that can read differently depending on skin chemistry.
Amber, cashmere wood, oud and labdanum settle into a warm woody-oud base. Projection drops after a few hours, leaving a close-to-skin vanilla-amber finish.
Performance Dashboard
6–8 hours on most wearers; some reviews mention longer wear on clothing.
Moderate at first, then close-to-skin after a few hours.
Moderate; noticeable in the first hours before settling.
