It opens with a modern twist of blackcurrant syrup and watery notes, evoking morning dew on dark berries. The heart reveals an opulent bouquet of rose, narcissus, cyclamen, and sambac jasmine, while the base dives deep into a sensual oriental blend of oud, patchouli, incense, and sweet benzoin—creating a velvety, magnetic aura.
