What Does It Smell Like?

The fragrance opens with a fresh, green, and slightly fruity blend of citrus, black currant, galbanum, and delicate floral notes. Mandarin orange, bergamot, and lemon bring a bright, refreshing quality, while rose and lily introduce the elegant floral character that defines the scent.

As the fragrance develops, it reveals a rich floral heart filled with tuberose, jasmine, ylang-ylang, magnolia, lilac, freesia, and other classic flowers. This bouquet creates a romantic, feminine, and sophisticated aroma with a lush, traditional floral character.

In the dry-down, sandalwood, amber, musk, cedar, vetiver, and vanilla provide warmth and depth. The result is a smooth, woody, and softly sweet finish that balances the fragrance's abundant floral notes.
