About

This is a serious, sophisticated green chypre that opens with a powerful aldehydic blast, quickly joined by crisp hyacinth and green notes, lending a sharp, almost astringent character. The heart unfolds with a rich bouquet of classic florals - rose, jasmine, and an earthy orris - softened by creamy tuberose. The dry down is deep and complex, settled on a bed of oakmoss and vetiver, enriched by animalic civet and warm amber, creating a lasting impression of elegant authority.
