About

Dia 40 opens with a sparkling burst of aldehydes, crisp violet leaf, and a subtle hum of blackcurrant. As it settles, a floral heart unfolds, dominated by a gentle rose, herbaceous bay leaf, and the creamy sweetness of ylang-ylang. The drydown is a soft, powdery embrace of orris and warm woods, grounded by a clean musk.
