Fragrance profile and notes
Top notes: aldehyde, raspberry, peach, and hyacinth. The opening is bright and radiant, with the crisp aldehydes adding a sparkling spark that instantly catches the light, while raspberry and peach bring juicy sweetness and a soft, fruity contrast. Hyacinth contributes a fresh, green floral lift that keeps the first impression lively and welcoming.
Heart notes: jasmine, may rose, carnation, orchid, lily of the valley, and tuberose. A lavish bouquet emerges as the aldehydic opening fades. Jasmine lends creamy warmth; may rose introduces a soft, romantic powder; carnation adds a subtle spice and depth; orchid brings exotic nuance; lily of the valley adds a delicate, dewy brightness; tuberose contributes a sultry, creamy richness that anchors the fragrance in a sophisticated floral core.
Base notes: oakmoss, civet, amber, honey, sandalwood, and vetiver. The foundation grounds the perfume with earthy, green mossiness from oakmoss and vetiver, while civet adds a sensual warmth. Amber provides a glowing resinous glow, honey adds gentle sweetness, and sandalwood creates a creamy, velvety woodiness that lingers on skin for hours.

How to use
- Apply to pulse points such as wrists, neck, and behind the ears after showering or skincare for better scent diffusion.
- Hold the bottle about 15–20 cm away and give one light spritz on each side of the neck or on the décolletage to avoid over-application.
- Avoid rubbing the wrists together after application, as this can crush the molecular structure and fade the fragrance faster.
- Pair with a fragrance-friendly body lotion or cream from the same line to subtly extend longevity and keep the scent cohesive.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the aldehydic opening and the overall balance of notes.
