Scent Development and Character
An amber‑woody eau de parfum that moves from bright, slightly tart citrus and saffron heat into a glowing heart of creamy ylang‑ylang, smoky resinous myrrh and palo santo woods, before settling into a dense, velvety trail of vanilla, benzoin, amber and sandalwood. The overall impression is warm, enveloping and gently gourmand without turning sugary, like golden light on polished wood.
Who It Is For and When to Wear It
Editorial estimate: With its warmth and resinous sweetness, Just Before suits cool evenings, formal or intimate settings, and transitional seasons; one to three sprays create a refined aura, while heavier application turns it into a plush, enveloping statement for autumn and winter wear. Most comfortable in autumn and winter; can work on cooler spring evenings with light application. Sillage is Editorial estimate: above-average sillage forming a noticeable but not overwhelming trail when sprayed moderately. Longevity is Editorial estimate: long-lasting, commonly reported around 7–10 hours on skin with strong persistence in the base.
