Composed by perfumer Carlos Viñals in the aromatic fougère tradition, it opens with the classic pairing of lavender and petitgrain sharpened by clove, layers in a spiced floral heart of cardamom, geranium, and mimosa, and resolves into a woody-ambery base of patchouli, sandalwood, and the ambery captive material Ambrostar. Launched in 2023, it's built for a wearer who treats a fragrance's opening moves as an invitation rather than a warning: daring in its first minutes, warm and settled by the finish.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eScent Character\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003eWoody \u0026amp; Ambery: 33% (patchouli, sandalwood, Ambrostar)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eSpicy: 23% (clove, cardamom)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFresh: 22% (petitgrain, lavender)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFloral: 22% (geranium, mimosa)\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTranslation:\u003c\/strong\u003e an aromatic fougère, sharp lavender and petitgrain balanced by warm clove and cardamom, closing on a soft ambery-woody base.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eFragrance Pyramid\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop:\u003c\/strong\u003e Petitgrain, Lavender, Clove\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eHeart:\u003c\/strong\u003e Cardamom, Geranium (Madagascar), Mimosa\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBase:\u003c\/strong\u003e Patchouli, Sandalwood, Ambrostar\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePerformance\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eLongevity:\u003c\/strong\u003e Moderate to long-lasting.
