The start is sharp and immediate—grapefruit and mandarin cut through the heat, sharpened further by the dry snap of pink peppercorn. As the citrus fades, a herbal lavender settles into a base of smoldering incense and plush suede. It feels powdery rather than heavy, with tonka and vanilla adding a soft, amber-toned warmth that clings to the skin. This transition from crisp fruit to a grounded, woody sweetness gives it an understated presence that lingers steadily without feeling forced or overly aggressive throughout the day.
