Performance & Scent Profile

• Heart: The floral core emerges rose is central, supported by geranium, artemisia and sage. Herbal and green hints (via cypriol) weave through.

• Dry Down: Woods and oud become more present. The base is rich but soft: patchouli, sandalwood, cedar, and incense resins frame the dry down.

• Projection & Longevity: Strong performance in early hours. Some sources say longevity can reach 10+ hours.

• Overall Vibe: Bold, elegant, a fragrant tapestry of rose, incense, fruit, and fine woods. A modern chypre take with personality.
