About

Opens with a luscious burst of stewed plum and apricot, interwoven with creamy coconut, immediately setting a sensual tone. The heart unfurls with a potent blend of jasmine and tuberose, deepened by caraway and rosewood, before settling into a truly hypnotic base of bitter almond. This is masterfully blended with a rich, animalic vanilla, musks, and warm amber, creating an intensely woody, sweet, and almost gourmand aura with a hint of enigmatic spice.
