Scent Journey
The first 0-30 minutes are a sensory explosion: saffron's sharp, leathery spice hits immediately, softened by the tartness of raspberry and the subtle sweetness of lychee. A metallic sheen—almost like cold steel—adds an avant-garde edge, making the opening feel crisp and electric.
As the heart emerges (1-2 hours), the iris takes center stage, its powdery, lipstick-like elegance counterbalancing the persistent saffron. The fruit fades into the background, leaving a refined, slightly cosmetic spiciness. The metallic note becomes more integrated, merging with the leather accord to create a sleek, polished texture.
After 4+ hours, the base reveals itself: papyrus brings a dry, papery woodiness while myrrh adds a sweet, balsamic depth. The metallic edge softens into a warm, amber-like glow. The fragrance becomes more intimate, wrapping the wearer in a cozy, slightly smoky embrace that lasts well into the night.
Performance Dashboard
8-10 hours on skin, sometimes longer on clothing. As an extrait de parfum, it has excellent staying power, easily surviving a full day or evening.
Moderate to strong projection. It radiates about an arm's length, with a comfortable bubble that invites others to lean in without being overwhelming.
Strong sillage. It leaves a noticeable trail that lingers in a room, making it ideal for making an entrance. Not overpowering, but certainly present.
