About

Imagine a vibrant burst of citrus, led by sharp lime and grapefruit, softened by a whisper of neroli and the intriguing spice of star anise. This lively opening transitions to a creamy heart of sandalwood and patchouli, grounding the fragrance. The base lingers with a delicate tea note and an unexpected hint of cacao, blended with exotic hibiscus, leaving a subtly warm and inviting trail perfect for warmer days.
