Fragrance notes
Character
Orange blossom and wild orange lead the opening with a bright, juicy citrus that feels immediately uplifting. Ice adds a crisp, cooling edge to the lemon without making the start smell thin or watery. Nutmeg and cardamom bring a warm, slightly peppery heat that sits close to the floral heart. Lavender and geranium soften the spices with a clean, herbal touch that keeps the blend from leaning too heavy. Coriander adds a gentle, lingering bite that works well against the sweetness building underneath. Ambrarome pulls the heart toward a resinous, amber-like warmth that feels smooth rather than sharp.
Tonka bean and liquor create a rich, slightly boozy sweetness that anchors the entire composition. Vetiver grounds the base with an earthy, root-like depth that balances the sugar. The vanilla and balsamic accords give the drydown a cozy, rounded finish that suits a quiet street lit by porch lights and the sound of dry leaves underfoot. It feels at home on someone who enjoys spice and citrus but wants an amber warmth to follow them through the evening. Composed by Mário Torri Neto, this unfolds like steam rising from a cup of spiced orange tea held between both hands in the cooling air.
