This perfume centers around a rich, dark tuberose that unfolds with a bold, spicy backbone and a warm vanilla base. It opens with a surprisingly medicinal patchouli note that can feel overwhelming on some skin types, but it settles into a luxurious blend of vanilla and woody florals. The projection is intense and long-lasting, with a strong sillage that lingers through the night. It is truly a statement scent—warm, seductive, and deeply entrenched in evening wear. The scent is well-suited to winter and cold climates, where its intensity shines without fading. It builds on a foundation of spice and patchouli, making it feel complex and layered rather than sweet or cloying. The drydown is soft and inviting, though some have found its sweetness and volume to be overwhelming. Despite its high impact, the perfume feels natural and balanced in its composition, with no synthetic sharpness.
