About

A truly grand entrance of bright bergamot and lemon quickly mellows into a rich, powdery heart of iris and rose, underpinned by earthy patchouli. The true drama unfolds in the base, where creamy vanilla and sandalwood entwine with enigmatic opoponax and incense, deepened by the raw sensuality of civet and a plush leather accord. It's a journey from zesty sparkle to a commanding, animalic warmth.
