Begum

Bergamot and lemon snap open bright and sharp, threaded through with red berry tartness and freesia's green whisper. The heart blooms dense—Damask rose and Bulgarian rose anchor a garden of jasmine, ylang-ylang, and lilac that tilts floral-sweet without cloying, grounded by iris and lily-of-the-valley's subtle green. As this settles, amber warms the base while vetiver and patchouli add dry earthiness, sandalwood and palisander rosewood weave in woody depth, and vanilla softens the edges. Musk hums beneath, binding the composition until only warm amber, vetiver, and creamy sandalwood linger on skin.
