About

A Corps Secret opens with a zesty explosion of bergamot and mandarin, laced with warming hints of ginger and cinnamon. As the fragrance evolves, the heart reveals a unique blend of creamy praline, floral jasmine, and the intriguing Akigalawood, bringing a modern twist to the composition. The base settles into rich layers of oud, vanilla, and patchouli, leaving a whisper of warmth that holds onto the skin. This fragrance captures a sense of sophisticated elegance with a touch of spice, making it intriguing and magnetic throughout the wear.
