Scent Journey
The first 30 minutes are a bright, almost startling explosion of Orange Blossom. It is citrusy and honeyed, lacking the typical bitterness of neroli, leaning instead into a solar, radiant sweetness.
As the citrus facets of the orange blossom recede, a plush, velvety Rose takes center stage. This isn't a fresh garden rose, but a dense, jammy floral that feels expensive and classically Roja.
After 4 hours, the scent settles into a creamy Sandalwood base. There is a lingering 'soapy' cleanliness that keeps the animalic undertones in check, creating a skin-scent that feels polished and high-status.
Performance Dashboard
12+ hours on skin; this EDP concentration punches far above its weight class.
Extremely strong; it maintains a 4-5 foot scent bubble for the first several hours.
Room-filling; one spray is enough to announce your presence before you even enter the room.
