Fragrance notes
Character
Cinnamon and litchi open the composition with a bright, fruity spice that feels immediate. Water lily, jasmine, and peony unfold in the heart, creating a clean floral layer that stays airy. The base brings ambroxan, vanilla, oakmoss, and musk together for a finish that is amber-heavy and slightly powdery.
The floral accord reads as white and fresh rather than dense or heady. Oakmoss adds a mossy touch that keeps the sweetness from becoming flat. Musk and ambroxan give the drydown a modern, slightly synthetic edge that leans toward contemporary mainstream styles.
Vanilla rounds out the blend with a soft warmth that sits close to the skin. This suits someone who enjoys cinnamon paired with aquatic florals and does not mind a noticeable amber presence. Those who prefer dry, woody scents without fruit or powder should look elsewhere. A damp stone path winding through a garden after rain.
