About

A vibrant blast of tangerine and spicy ginger kicks things off, brightened by aldehydes for a fizzy, almost 'cream soda' opening. This quickly settles into a rich, creamy heart of jasmine and orange blossom, sweet and enveloping. The dry down is a luxurious embrace of warm vanilla and benzoin, cushioned by soft cashmere wood, leaving a trail that's both seductive and comforting.
