The first spray delivers a sharp, medicinal burst of basil and green mirabelle plum, a shock to modern noses accustomed to clean skin musks. It quickly shifts as a dense bouquet of indolic jasmine and tuberose unfolds, wrapped in a heavy blanket of beeswax. This is a loud, unapologetic fragrance for confident collectors who appreciate vintage complexity. It wears best during freezing winter nights when the cold air cuts through its syrupy density. You will either love its dramatic, throat-tickling depth or find its animalic warmth completely unwearable.
