Scent Journey

1
Opening 0-30 min

The first spray reveals a burst of Indian jasmine absolute, vibrant and slightly green, intertwined with the soft, tea-like nuance of jasmine tea. A bright citrus touch from lemon primofiore adds a sparkling lift.

2
Heart 1-2 hrs

As the heart unfolds, freesia adds a delicate, slightly powdery floralcy, while the lemon primofiore continues to provide a fresh, sunny facet. The jasmine remains the star, but now it's wrapped in a honeyed sweetness from the beeswax absolute.

3
Drydown 4+ hrs

The base is a warm, sensual blend of Alaska cedarwood, hay, and tobacco. The beeswax absolute lends a creamy, honeyed richness that lingers close to the skin. The animalic undertones are subtle, adding depth without overpowering.
