About

Opens with a delicate, yet distinct, bitter almond note, brightened by a whisper of petitgrain citrus. The heart blooms into a sophisticated white floral bouquet of jasmine and orange blossom, honeyed and soft. This exquisite blend settles into a luscious, sweet vanilla and warm, resinous woods of sandalwood, guaiac wood, and a grounding touch of incense. Powdery and nutty undertones weave throughout, creating an ethereal and comforting aura.
