Fragrance notes
Character
Orange and aldehydes create a bright, slightly fizzy opening that feels polished rather than sharp. Neroli adds a clean, faintly bitter edge to the citrus, keeping the start from leaning too heavily into sweetness. Bergamot rounds out the top with a soft, rounded acidity that sits comfortably against the skin.
Myrrh and honey give the heart a thick, golden texture that clings to the floral bouquet. Narcissus and ylang-ylang push the composition toward a rich, slightly indolic warmth, while carnation and rose provide a dry, spicy counterpoint. Patchouli appears in both the heart and the base, tying the two together with an earthy thread that never dominates. The balsams and leather in the drydown add a resinous weight that stays near the body, moving with the wearer instead of announcing itself across a space. Civet and oakmoss bring a classic, slightly animalic depth that feels intentional rather than dated.
Jasmine and lily-of-the-valley offer fleeting moments of clarity before the amber, vanilla, and tonka bean settle in for a slow, steady persistence that endures through changing conditions. Labdanum and incense reinforce the resinous character, while sandalwood and vetiver ground the base with a dry, woody finish. Musk softens the edges without making the blend feel modern or sheer. The overall impression is of a heavy, ornate scarf draped over a velvet chair in a room filled with dried flowers and warm resin.
