Gladius

Gladius opens with the bright snap of bergamot and coriander against the creamy sweetness of heliotrope, immediately warm and spiced. The heart softens into a subtle floral landscape where jasmine and lavender intertwine, tempered by bitter almond's almondy depth—a moment of restraint before amber and sandalwood ground the composition in a pale, woody sweetness that lingers with a whisper of vanilla, soft and almost skin-like.
