Fragrance structure
How it develops
The first minutes are the signature: green hazelnut and cacao arriving together, nutty and dry rather than melted, with a faint bitterness at the edge. Jasmine sambac slips in underneath and softens the whole thing into something creamier, while cedar keeps a dry spine running through the middle. From there it settles rather than shifts — caramel warms the nut, ambroxan lends a clean modern hum, and moss keeps the sweetness earthbound.
