Popy Moreni released this 1997 oriental floral under perfumer Martin Gras as a bold contrast to nineties minimal aquatic scents. The formula opens with a sharp burst of roasted coffee, crisp bergamot, and spicy geranium before softening into a lush floral center of ylang-ylang, heliotrope, and orange blossom. As the top notes fade, a rich base of sandalwood, dark amber, and resinous styrax takes over skin. Vanilla and patchouli provide a soft, cozy backdrop that lasts through cool autumn evenings and winter nights. It suits collectors who enjoy complex vintage perfumery rather than clean modern sugar notes.
