Brief description:

• A warm, sexy, slightly spicy-oriental scent built around citrus opening and a rich, slightly sweet tonka/tobacco base. The anise/olive-flower heart gives it a subtly aromatic, sophisticated edge.

Performance:

• Longevity: Moderate to long (typically 6–8+ hours depending on skin)
• Projection: Moderate — strong on first hour, then settles closer to skin
• Best uses: Evening wear, formal or romantic occasions, cooler weather (falls/winters) but versatile enough for many settings
