Scent Story
The fragrance bursts awake with the freshness of pear and a zesty coriander accent, offering a bright, uplifting start. It then transitions beautifully into aromatic lavender, spicy cardamom, and herbal basil, which add personality without overwhelming. As it dries down, the base notes of creamy sandalwood, soothing amber, and soft musk bring warmth and stay with you long into the day.

Wearability & Lifestyle

Its clean, refined profile also allows it to move into early evening settings when slightly more subdued.
