Scent Story
The fragrance opens with a clean, floral-aldehyde burst softened by carnation, rose, and delicate peach, undercut by neroli and bergamot. In the heart, the bouquet blossoms with gardenia, jasmine, ylang-ylang, violet, and subtle spicy undertones of cloves and orchid. The dry-down settles into a warm, comforting base of woods, moss, musk, amber, vetiver, cedar, and benzoin, giving a lasting, elegant trail.

Perfect for formal gatherings, weddings, or moments when you want a fragrance that feels refined and memorable. Pairs beautifully with lace, knits, structured coats, pearls, or timeless femininity.
