Scent Journey
The opening bursts with a crisp, fruity green apple and zesty green mandarin, quickly followed by a sharp, aromatic cardamom that adds a spicy kick. The initial impression is fresh yet warm, with a slight sweetness.
As the heart unfolds, lavender and orange blossom emerge, lending a smooth, slightly floral and herbal quality. Nutmeg adds a subtle spicy depth, bridging the fruity top and the resinous base.
The base is a rich, warm blend of amber, tonka bean, and leather. Amber provides a sweet, resinous warmth, tonka adds a creamy, almond-like sweetness, and leather gives a smooth, slightly animalic undertone. The drydown is long-lasting and projects strongly.
