Creamy sandalwood meets coconut and massoïa wood, the base soft, lactonic and milky-sweet. Warm and smooth throughout, a gentle, almost edible woodiness.

Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin.

Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
