About This Fragrance

The fragrance is best understood as a complete scene rather than a simple list of ingredients. Its concept is carried through the opening, heart, and drydown, allowing the wearer to experience a shift in light, texture, and mood over time.

Scent Profile

The opening features Bergamot, Black Currant, giving the first impression its lift and definition. The heart develops around Rose, Silk, while the base of Chestnut, Cocoa gives the fragrance its lasting trail. The result is a scent that changes from first brightness into a more intimate and textured finish.

Who It's For & When to Wear It

It suits someone who enjoys following a fragrance from top to drydown rather than judging it only from the first spray. Worn lightly, it can fit daily use; applied with more intention, it brings out the character and atmosphere of the composition.
