Scent Journey
The first 30 minutes lead with cinnamon, green leaves, apple, and bergamot. The cinnamon is warm and spicy, while the green leaves and apple add a crisp, slightly fruity freshness. Bergamot brightens the top before the gourmand heart emerges.
After 1 to 2 hours, the heart reveals carrot, clover, violet, and jasmine. The carrot is earthy and slightly sweet, evoking the idea of carrot cake without being literal. Clover and violet add a powdery floral softness, while jasmine contributes a subtle indolic depth.
From 4 hours onward, the base settles into biscuit, vanilla, hay, white almond, musk, and patchouli. The drydown is warm, sweet, and powdery with a distinct dry hay facet. Vanilla and almond create a dessert-like comfort, while patchouli and musk ground the composition.
