Poppy and orris over a soft gourmand base of tonka, heliotrope and barley, giving an almond-and-marzipan sweetness. Fig and ambrette add roundness while keeping it powdery. Warm, plush and comforting, it leans sweet without turning heavy.

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.
