Fragrance structure
How it develops
A restrained floral note opens the composition with a soft, creamy lift. Dark chocolate and tonka then build a warm center, sharpened by cinnamon's dry spice. Oud and sandalwood arrive beneath the sweetness, creating a smooth woody frame rather than a rough animalic wall. As the fragrance dries, chocolate remains close to the wood grain, leaving a polished, intimate shadow.
