A cold-weather scent - best worn in autumn and winter.

Best Occasions

Best For:

Also Works:
Office Formal

Its moderate projection makes it suitable for office wear, while its sophisticated warmth and subtle sensuality are perfect for dates and autumn evenings. The unique blend allows it to flex into casual and formal settings, though its generally weak longevity, as noted by many, means constant reapplication if you want it to last.

About

A truly intriguing opening of sharp ginger and piquant pink pepper gives way to a creamy, almost lactonic floral heart where orchid and water lily lend a subtle freshness. The dry down is a warm embrace of smooth sandalwood and frankincense, beautifully balanced with hints of leathery amber, creating a polished, subtly sensual aura.
