Layering and Application

Layering Suggestions

Experiment by pairing this rich extrait with a lighter citrus or green scent to add brightness, or with a delicate floral to highlight its creamy undertones. Combining with subtle woody or musky scents can elevate depth and complexity while personalizing your signature.

Application Tips

Apply to warm pulse points such as wrists, neck, or behind the ears to enhance diffusion and depth, and consider a couple of sprays on clothing or hair for extra longevity. Due to its concentration, 2–3 sprays create a noticeable yet refined mood. Enjoy the ritual by letting the scent settle on your skin for a few minutes before heading out.
