Samba Ruby

Samba Ruby opens with bright strawberry and nectarine, their warmth threaded with the dark, licorice-tinged spice that keeps the sweetness grounded. As dahlia and rose bloom through the heart, star anise adds a subtle liqueur-like complexity—anise and florals speaking in tandem. The base settles into creamy tonka bean and sandalwood, softened by orchid and patchouli's earthy pull, while benzoin wraps everything in a resinous, almost caramel-like amber. There's a sensual sway here, neither cloying nor austere—fruit and spice held in balance by woodsy, gourmand depth.
