A vibrant explosion of fresh citrus takes center stage in the top notes—featuring tangerine, grapefruit, lime, and bergamot—seamlessly balanced by the crisp floral brightness of lavender, nutty accents, the warm spice of coriander, and a touch of rich cinnamon. At its heart, carnation (complemented by jasmine, rosewood, and pine) unfolds, anchored by the deep, comforting warmth of patchouli, sandalwood, vetiver, benzoin, vanilla, and amber. A subtle red berry aroma weaves through the composition, reinforcing its structure while infusing the fragrance with sensuality and distinct character.
