A softly spiced, warm vanilla iris fragrance that feels refined and elegant, with a refined balance of cardamom, iris, and creamy vanilla. The opening is elegantly crisp, with a bright, slightly peppery cardamom note that lingers without becoming harsh—its aromatic profile is both assertive and delicate, unfolding into a soft, powdery vanilla with a subtle golden warmth. The fragrance evolves gently, with the iris lending a velvety dryness that tempers the sweetness, leading to a subtly sweet, vanillic dry down. On the skin, it performs comparably to a deeply blended version of Bois d’Argent or Lune Feline—less complex, but more soothing and wearable, ideal for evening wear or intimate moments. Its projection is moderate, lingering pleasantly for several hours across the skin, but it stays close, not radiating beyond arm’s length. It is not a bold or assertive scent, yet it feels memorable and uniquely quiet in its presence, making it a deeply personal, signature-type choice for those who appreciate warmth and beauty without excess. The fragrance blends seamlessly with the skin, providing a sense of comfort and sophistication, and the dry down reveals a slightly incense-like depth, though not overtly smoky or resinous.
