Impression Upon Wearing:
- Opening: The fragrance opens with a dominant, clean powdery iris. While lavender or yuzu hints may emerge faintly, it is the iris that immediately defines the character. This is swiftly underpinned by the warmth of amber and gentle sweetness of tonka.
- Heart: A blend of amber and patchouli unfolds into a rich, earthy-spicy heart, with subtle leather and violet echoes smoothing the transition. The overall feel is lush yet polished.
- Dry-Down: The base becomes creamy and gourmand—tonka bean sweetness melds with sandalwood’s velvety woodiness and a soft leather nuance, creating a lasting impression of understated luxury.
Performance & Occasion:
- Longevity: Excellent — consistently lasts 8–10+ hours, and can linger on clothing even longer.
- Sillage: Moderate to strong — projection is noticeable especially in the first few hours, then softens nicely.
- Best Seasons: Fall and winter — its warm and rich profile suits cooler weather beautifully.
- Occasions: Ideal for evenings, formal events, business dinners, or any occasion requiring an aura of refined confidence and sensuality.

- Memorable & Impactful: The scent develops beautifully over time, and its presence is both inviting and magnetic.
