This Oriental Fougere fragrance opens with aromatic and smoky notes that create an intriguing tension, leading into a heart of green and balsamic accords that add depth and warmth. The base is a rich blend of amber, vanilla, leather, and powdery nuances that offer a sense of lasting sophistication.

Application Tips
Given its long-lasting nature, one or two sprays are sufficient to ensure that it lingers throughout the day. The moderate sillage means it reads best close to the skin rather than filling a room. It's ideal for evening wear when you want a scent that is rich and complex but not overwhelming.
