About

Imagine stepping into a softly lit room, where a dusting of powdery notes, enriched by the smooth fullness of vanilla and warm amber, greets you. A bright, zesty burst of bergamot cuts through, offering a momentary sparkle before the rich, earthy depth of iris and the subtle, spiritual whisper of incense draw you into a more profound embrace. The tonka bean adds a creamy, gourmand-ish nuance, grounding the fragrance in a luxurious, lasting warmth.
