The Scent Journey
The opening is immediately intoxicating: rum provides a rich, boozy sweetness while bergamot adds just enough citrus brightness to prevent it from being overwhelmingly dark. Within 15 minutes, ylang-ylang and orris create a powdery-floral heart that is subtle and skin-like. The ylang-ylang adds an exotic, creamy quality. After 2-3 hours, the base of vanilla, tonka bean, benzoin, and musk creates a warm, addictive cocoon. The dry-down is deeply sensual, sweet, and intimate.
