Hyacinth and bergamot snap open with a whisper of spiced coriander, bright and almost peppery before the composition softens into carnation and rose—Bulgarian, Egyptian, Moroccan blooms layered with creamy ylang-ylang and jasmine that unfolds like silk warming on skin. Amber and musk anchor the drift as patchouli and labdanum add earthy depth, myrrh casting a faint smoky veil over creamy sandalwood that lingers, honeyed and dry, until only warm wood and amber shadow remain.
