Fragrance structure
How it develops
Soft flowers open the composition with a brief, almost creamy lift. Dark chocolate and tonka then gather around cinnamon, turning the heart warm, bitter-sweet, and lightly spiced. As the sweetness settles, oud and sandalwood provide a smooth woody frame rather than a rough animalic edge. The drydown keeps the chocolate shadow close to the grain of the woods, creating a dark but wearable finish.
