Scent Journey
A sharp, bright blast of sea water and zesty bergamot, invigorated by cool, crisp mint. A clean, bracing opening signaling freshness and energy.
As top notes recede, aromatic heart emerges. Rosemary and lavender provide herbaceous depth, while neroli adds subtle floral sweetness. More refined, less purely aquatic.
Grounded by clean, smooth musk. Cedarwood adds dry, woody texture, and patchouli provides subtle earthy undertone. Clean, slightly musky, suitable for close encounters.

Notes Pyramid
Scent Journey
A vibrant and spicy opening where citrus from the mandarin is immediately met with the warmth of pepper and nutmeg. It's a fresh but simultaneously warm and invigorating start.
The heart becomes more sophisticated and robust as the initial spice settles. Aromatic lavandin provides a clean counterpoint to the floral delicacy of ylang-ylang, all grounded by a distinct, smooth leather note.
The base is warm and enveloping. Dry amber and creamy, sweet coumarin create a lasting, cozy, and distinctly nocturnal scent that lingers on the skin for many hours.

Lasts 10-12 hours on skin.
Strong projection for the first 2-3 hours before settling.
Leaves a noticeable and impressive trail.
