About

Opens with a bright citrus kick from bergamot, quickly followed by a plush, warm onslaught of cinnamon, nutmeg, and a leathery saffron. The heart unfolds into a smooth, creamy vanilla and sandalwood embrace, creating a sophisticated and inviting aroma. It's elegantly sweet, never cloying, with a refined oriental backbone perfect for cooler climes.
