The Scent Journey
The fragrance opens with shimmering aldehydes that create an almost champagne-like sparkle, enhanced by green galbanum and bright bergamot. The aldehydic top note is immediately elegant and refined. As it develops, the heart reveals a magnificent bouquet dominated by soft rose and spicy carnation, creating a romantic, floral middle note that feels both classic and timeless. The spice adds subtle sophistication that prevents the florals from becoming cloying. The base settles into earthy vetiver and warm sandalwood, grounded by cedarwood and soft musk, creating a sophisticated, long-lasting finish.
