Description
The story behind this fragrance
Bright mandarin and bergamot burst open with a sharp bite of bitter orange, immediately cool and clarifying against warm skin. The opening snaps with citrus clarity before carnation and jasmine bloom into the center—a soft, slightly spiced floral that softens the initial sting. As the composition settles, patchouli and myrrh emerge to anchor the sweetness, earthy and resinous, while vanilla adds a whisper of warmth beneath. The drydown drifts between the deep, slightly medicinal myrrh and creamy vanilla, patchouli grounding everything in a subtle earthiness that lingers long after the citrus has faded.
