Fragrance notes
Character
Cherry leads the opening with a bright, edible red tone that feels immediate and a little loud. Bergamot lifts it just enough to keep the fruit from sitting flat. Carnation and ylang-ylang push the heart toward a dusty, slightly powdered floral that sits close to the skin and moves with the body rather than projecting outward. Jasmine and lily-of-the-valley add a fresh, green lift that cuts through the heavier resins waiting underneath. Peru balsam, benzoin and styrax give the base a thick, resinous weight that clings to fabric and warms slowly across a cool morning. Oud and vetiver ground the sweetness so the vanilla and tonka bean never turn sugary. Labdanum and patchouli deepen the shadow without making it dark.
A walk through a shaded garden path when the air still carries a morning chill suits this scent well. The resins feel at home where stone walls hold a little damp and the light stays soft. It works for someone who likes a floral that gradually turns resinous and deep. People who want a crisp, airy citrus will find it too heavy and too still. The balsamic accord lingers long after the cherry fades, and the amber stays present on the wrist. Woody facets keep the background steady while the vanilla remains.
