Scent Journey
The first 0-30 minutes deliver a bright, citrusy burst of bergamot, lemon, and mandarin, spiced with cardamom and pink pepper. Saffron adds a metallic, leathery nuance. The mango is not immediately prominent but emerges as the citrus fades.
In the heart (1-2 hours), the mango takes center stage, its juicy sweetness contrasted by jasmine and rose. The oud is already present, creating a fruity-floral-oud accord. The spice from the top lingers subtly.
The base (4+ hours) is dominated by oud, patchouli, and amber, with cashmeran adding a musky softness. Styrax and cypriol contribute a smoky, leathery depth. The mango fades, leaving a warm, woody, and slightly sweet trail.
