Fragrance structure
How it develops
Mandarin and bergamot open it juicy rather than sharp, a soft citrus lasting only minutes before pink pepper adds a warm prickle. Coffee moves in almost immediately behind that — roasted and milky, more dessert than espresso — and settles alongside amyris into a smooth woody centre. The drydown belongs to tonka bean and labdanum, with patchouli and vetiver keeping the sweetness earthed so it never collapses into plain sugar before the end.

DUA record should stay as DUA LUX 100ML. Provider page lacks a parsed note list and has a concentration typo, so official/Fragrantica notes carry the structure.Discovery
