Scent
The fragrance opens with a burst of juicy Calabrian bergamot and spicy Sichuan pepper, creating an immediate invigorating sensation. As it evolves, cool spices and bleached lavender add a crisp, aromatic freshness. The base reveals ambery marine wood and musky woods, leaving a warm, sensual trail that lingers.
Season and wear
Best suited for spring and summer, when its fresh citrus and spicy coolness provide an invigorating lift. The aquatic and woody facets also make it versatile for transitional weather.
Sillage and longevity
The sillage starts moderate, projecting a noticeable aura, then settles closer to the skin over time. It leaves a refined, intimate trail that is present without being overwhelming. The alcohol-free concentrated formula ensures extended longevity on the skin, likely surpassing typical eau de toilette and approaching parfum intensity. Expect all-day wear with moderate to strong persistence.
