Fragrance notes and scent profile
Top notes: Honey, Pear, Bergamot — opening with a luminous, honeyed sweetness and crisp fruit brightness that feels delicate rather than syrupy; pear adds juicy freshness while bergamot lends a zesty citrus sparkle.
Middle notes: Rose, Water Notes, Peony — a bouquet of soft petals and fresh watery facets, giving a clean, dewy heart with a refined powdery nuance from the peony and a whisper of rose.
Base notes: Cashmeran, Ambergris, White Musk, Sandalwood, Violet — a warm, resinous foundation; cashmeran adds a silky woodsiness; ambergris injects a subtle oceanic sweetness; white musk keeps it smooth and intimate; sandalwood and violet round out with creamy, slightly powdery depth.
Fragrance family: Floral Woody Musk. The overall effect is radiant, elegant, and contemporary, with a lasting but never overpowering presence. Sillage sits at a refined level suitable for close encounters in office settings or intimate evenings, while longevity carries the scent through the day with a gentle reapplication if desired.

How to use
- Hold the bottle 15–20 cm (6–8 inches) away from your skin and spray on the pulse points (wrists, neck, or behind the ears) for an even diffusion.
- Apply to clean, moisturized skin to maximize projection and longevity; avoid rubbing the wrists together after spraying to preserve the fragrance’s balance.
- Aim for a light, even distribution—one to two sprays is typically sufficient for daily wear; adjust based on your sensitivity and environment.
- Consider layering with a matching shower gel or body lotion from the same line, if available, to extend wear time and enhance the scent profile.
- Avoid applying on irritated skin or after shaving to minimize any potential irritation; store in a cool, dry place away from heat and direct sunlight.
- Reapply sparingly in the evening if you want an extra lift for events or night outings; scent tends to settle with skin warmth and movement.
