Balahe

Balahe opens with a sharp plum skin dusted by aldehydes, anise threading through like licorice smoke, while bergamot and mandarin offer citrus brightness tinged with peppery coriander and clary sage's herbaceous green. The heart blooms thick and creamy—tuberose and orange blossom collide with syrupy ylang-ylang, jasmine and rose anchored by iris's cool powder. Vetiver, sandalwood, and creamy vanilla settle the base, warmed by opoponax's resinous amber and animal civet that adds a faint, skin-close muskiness. Balahe is simultaneously luminous and animalic, floral without sweetness.
