Description
The story behind this fragrance
First opens with a bright burst of peach and berry—raspberry and black currant—caught in a shimmer of aldehydes and citrus warmth. The heart unfolds into a lush, almost overwhelming floral garden: hyacinth and Turkish rose brush against creamy tuberose and jasmine, with lily-of-the valley and narcissus adding a dewy, green-tinged sweetness. As it settles, amber and sandalwood ground the composition, while tonka bean and honey layer a soft caramel richness over vetiver's dry earth. Musk and vanilla drift beneath, threading warmth through the oakmoss and a subtle animalic edge that keeps the entire experience sensual and skin-close.
