Wear & Feel

How It Evolves

You’re greeted by a sparkling wave of aldehydes, instantly brightening the senses, before the heart reveals an elegant interplay of luxurious florals. As the fragrance settles, its mossy woods and tobacco base ground the composition, leaving a lasting impression that feels both soft and resolutely confident.

Inspiration for When to Wear

Lovely for art openings, romantic dinners, or days that call for a touch of nostalgia.

Who Might Love This

Appeals to those who appreciate classic sophistication and the allure of vintage-inspired scents with a present-day twist.

Layering Suggestions

Layer with a fresh, green floral or a sparkling citrus to enhance the perfume’s opening lift, or amplify with a smooth, warm musk for more depth as the scent settles. Combining with a woody or incense-driven fragrance draws out its vintage character, allowing each layer to shine through in new ways.

Application Tips

For a classic effect, apply two to three sprays on wrists, clavicle, and behind the ears, letting the aldehydic brightness bloom on contact. A gentle mist over clothing or through hair can further capture its elegant sillage. Take a moment to savor the transformation as the scent matures on your skin.
