The initial kick is dry and vibrant rather than syrupy. Within twenty minutes, the citrus flash fades, making room for a pillowy heart of rich vanilla and balsamic elemi resin. The base rests on a clean foundation of white musk, roasted sweet almond, guaiac wood, and warm ambroxan.

This balance makes the fragrance especially pleasant for crisp autumn afternoons, relaxed weekend mornings, and cozy dinner outings. Show less
