Scent Journey
The first spritz opens with juicy guava and bright mandarin, lifted by a subtle pink pepper sparkle. It feels like biting into ripe tropical fruit under the sun.
Within 1-2 hours, the heart blooms into a creamy, floral tropical bouquet. Hibiscus and jasmine add a soft, sun-warmed floralcy, while coconut lends a smooth, beachy roundness.
After 4+ hours, the base settles into a cozy, skin-like blend of vanilla, musk, and sandalwood. It becomes a warm, sweet whisper that lingers on clothing and hair.
Performance Dashboard
4-6 hours on skin; longer on clothing and hair.
Arm's length for the first hour, then it sits closer to the skin.
Moderate; leaves a soft tropical trail without overwhelming a room.
