Fragrance notes
Character
A sunlit courtyard in October holds a folding chair and a cup of tea that has gone cold. Freesia and Egyptian jasmine arrive first, bright and dewy, with a pinch of coriander that keeps the air crisp. The floral heart opens slowly as the light shifts, jasmine sambac and Bulgarian rose weaving through orange blossom in a soft, powdery haze.
The base settles into musk and sandalwood, anchored by tonka bean and vanilla that warm the skin without overwhelming the air around you. The scent stays present through a long morning, noticeable to anyone who steps close, yet it never pushes beyond the space you occupy. It feels crafted rather than assembled, each note distinct but polite.
There is a gentle, musky sweetness that lingers on a sleeve, a white floral depth that feels at home among falling leaves and clear skies, the kind of daytime companion that asks nothing and gives plenty, drifting through the air as the afternoon stretches on and the light continues to move across the courtyard floor
