Bitter almond and saffron open with a warm, slightly sweet sharpness that quickly softens into jasmine and cedar through the heart. Ambergris, cashmeran and ambroxan carry the base, building a radiant, amber-like glow that clings to skin and fabric long after application. Apple and bergamot traces from the wider blend add faint brightness up top, though the drydown stays woody and resinous overall. It's an evening scent, best saved for cold weather.
This Extrait version projects strongly and holds for well over eight hours, among the longest lasting in its range.
