Description
The story behind this fragrance
Bergamot and grapefruit crack open with bright, zesty sharpness, then the composition pivots toward something warmer and more introspective. Orange blossom unfolds into a creamy, honeyed sweetness while jasmine and rose settle into the silk of the heart, threaded through with geranium's green, slightly peppery restraint. Beneath, amber glows with a soft golden warmth as guaiac wood and oud emerge—earthy, smoky, subtly woody—grounded by papyrus and resins that deepen into a dry, almost ancient stillness. The brightness of the opening dissolves into amber and warm wood smoke drifting across skin.
