About

A powerful amber concoction opens with a vibrant, almost punchy blend of fresh lavender and cool mint, quickly melting into a warm, inviting heart of creamy vanilla and resinous benzoin. The drydown unveils a decadent, sticky sweetness of honey, rich tonka bean, and a smoky whisper of tobacco, creating a lavish, long-lasting trail. This is a scent that doesn't just enter a room; it makes an entrance.
