How it develops
It opens bright and spiced, cardamom and nutmeg sharpened by lime, mandarin, and grapefruit, with a bitter artemisia-and-caraway edge cutting through the citrus. That brightness folds into a powdery floral heart, iris and ylang-ylang joined by jasmine, lily-of-the-valley, and rose, softened by heliotrope. The drydown turns creamy and warm, sandalwood, amber, and tonka settling under musk, cedar, and vetiver, so the spice-and-flower opening ends in a rounded, old-world woods base.
