Scent Journey

1
Opening 0-30 min

The first 0‑30 minutes burst with luminous citrus – bright Calabrian mandarin and Sicilian orange mingle with the ripe sweetness of white peach and plum. A fleeting flash of jasmine and tuberose adds a soft, powdery floral veil.

2
Heart 1-2 hrs

From 1‑2 hours the heart settles into a lush white‑floral bouquet. Lily of the valley, white lily, magnolia and iris create an elegant, slightly green core, while ambergris lends a subtle marine‑animalic depth that prevents the florals from becoming saccharine.

3
Drydown 4+ hrs

After four hours the composition anchors itself on a warm, woody‑amber base. Hinoki cypress, Lebanese cedar and a creamy vanilla meld with musk and grey amber, delivering a lingering, sophisticated drydown that persists for the remainder of the day.
