Fragrance notes
Character
Licorice and coriander open this composition with a crisp, slightly biting edge that feels clean rather than sugary. The licorice carries a cool dryness that keeps the spice from feeling heavy, while the coriander adds a green, almost herbal lift. Together they create an entrance that is sharp and confident, steering clear of the usual bright citrus that dominates many feminine releases.
Jasmine enters next and softens the opening with a white floral presence that feels rounded and calm. Tonka bean follows closely, adding a gentle sweetness that leans toward vanilla and amber without becoming dessert-like. The combination settles into a warm, powdery heart where the floral and the sweet elements support each other evenly, and the earlier spice now acts as a quiet backdrop rather than a focal point.
Sandalwood and musk form the foundation with a woody, musky base that feels smooth and steady. The sandalwood gives a creamy texture, while the musk adds a soft, skin-like warmth that blends naturally with the tonka and jasmine above it. This is a fragrance composed by Giovanni Festa for Aulentissima in 2020, and the way the licorice lingers faintly beneath the floral and woody layers makes it feel suited to a cool evening where the air is quiet and the light is low, with the materials continuing to shift against one another as the night goes on
