Description
The story behind this fragrance
Violet and mandarin open with a cool, almost peppery brightness, freesia adding a wispy green floral thread. The Favourite unfolds into a creamy heart—jasmine sambac's heady sweetness tempered by mimosa's powdery softness and iris's subtle woody iris-root earthiness. Warmth builds as musk and ambroxan emerge, softening the florals into something almost skin-like, while sandalwood grounds the drydown in a pale, clean wood that lingers with a faint musky haze.
