Fragrance notes
Character
Orange blossom and ylang ylang open bright against a tobacco leaf that smells like dried leaves stacked in a wooden drawer. Jasmine lifts the top before cloves and black pepper push the scent toward something darker. Tuberose arrives with weight, creamy and loud, while benzoin and labdanum add a resinous stickiness that clings to fabric. The heart feels dense, more golden than green, with the spices humming underneath the white petals.
Sandalwood and cedar ground the blend as tonka bean and amber wrap the base in a sweet, powdery haze. The drydown is the longest section of the scent, a slow drift of vanilla-tinged wood and warm resin that settles close to the skin like a scarf pulled tight against cool air. It fits a night when the sidewalk is damp and the streetlights reflect off wet pavement, when a heavy coat and a rich scent make the cold feel intentional. Someone who enjoys florals that refuse to stay light will reach for this when the evening stretches long.
