Scent Journey
The fragrance opens with a sharp, juicy burst of blackcurrant, tempered by the citrus brightness of Italian bergamot.
The heart reveals a lush, heady Jasmine Grandiflorum, providing a creamy floral backbone that feels both regal and intoxicating.
The base settles into a warm, lingering embrace of high-quality Bourbon Vanilla, leaving a sweet, resinous trail on the skin.
Performance Dashboard
8-10 hours on the skin, with even greater persistence on fabrics.
Projects reliably within arm's length, perfect for intimate settings or evening events.
Moderate sillage that leaves a graceful, noticeable trail without overwhelming a room.
