Description
The story behind this fragrance
Pink pepper's sharp bite dissolves into dusty sage before Ambre Gris settles into its creamy, almost religious interior—myrrh oil and incense pooling beneath the heady white florals of frangipani and tuberose. The base emerges slowly: tonka bean's vanilla warmth mingles with cedar's dry spine and benzoin's resinous amber, anchored by the salty, skin-like depth of ambergris. Soft but persistent, neither transparent nor cloying.
