Wear & Feel

How It Evolves

A cool, almost green fig mingles smoothly with spiced black tea as the fragrance opens. The heart softens with powdery iris and earthy vetiver, adding creamy texture. As the scent fades, sandalwood and tonka bean provide warm, lasting comfort edged with sensuality.

Inspiration for When to Wear

Great for evening walks, cozy nights in, or anytime you’re seeking a quietly confident scent.

Who Might Love This

A compelling pick for those who appreciate nuanced, unisex blends that combine modern sophistication and warmth.

Layering Suggestions

Layer with a crisp, aromatic citrus to highlight freshness, or partner with a smooth amber or gentle leather to deepen its complexity. Combining with a subtle floral can further enhance the soft, powdery nuance, making each application distinctively yours.

Application Tips

Spray onto pulse points—wrists, neck, and behind the ears—for a well-balanced projection that lasts through changing moods and settings. Three to four sprays are enough to let the fragrance’s evolution unfold elegantly and naturally. For added diffusion, mist lightly over your scarf or blazer.
