Notes Pyramid
Scent Journey
The first spritz delivers a burst of ripe, sun-warmed peach—juicy, slightly tart, and utterly mouthwatering. It is a fruity top note that feels natural rather than candied, with a fleeting brightness that quickly softens.
Within minutes, the peach recedes and the heart emerges: lotus. This aquatic floral note is clean, almost watery, with a subtle green undertone. It evokes the image of a still pond at dusk, petals floating on the surface. The lotus is not heady or indolic; it is a transparent, ethereal bloom that bridges the fruit and the base.
As the fragrance settles, the white musk takes center stage. It is a creamy, slightly powdery musk—soft, skin-like, and incredibly tenacious. The peach and lotus linger as faint echoes, but the musk becomes the star, wrapping the wearer in a warm, clean embrace that lasts for hours.
Performance Dashboard
8–10 hours on skin, with a soft presence that persists well into the next morning on clothing.
Arms-length projection for the first two hours, then settles into a close, intimate aura.
Moderate—leaves a gentle trail about an arm's length away, noticeable but never intrusive.
