Анна Каренина (Anna Karenina)

Anna Karenina opens with a cool, silvery floral rush—aldehydes lifting lily-of-the-valley and lilac into an almost ethereal space, bright mandarin threading through gardenia's creamy weight. The heart softens into tuberose's indolic bloom, grounded by vetiver's dry green whisper and rose's velvety presence, while patchouli and vanilla add earthy warmth beneath. As it settles, musk and sandalwood create an amber-tinged intimacy, synthetic civet adding a subtle animalic depth that keeps the florals from floating away entirely. Dense, romantic, slightly shadowed.
