Bayadere

Bayadere opens with a bright spice—clove and orange create an almost peppery warmth—before deepening into a dense floral heart where carnation's green pepper edge softens against ylang-ylang's creamy sweetness and jasmine's indolic pull. Rose threads through, velvety and present. The base settles into honeyed amber and vanilla, grounded by patchouli's earthy tobacco undertone, while styrax and opoponax wrap everything in a resinous, almost incense-like sweetness that lingers on skin like silk caught on warmth.
