It is incredibly potent. A single spray can last over 12 hours on skin and days on clothing. The projection is strong, creating a dense scent bubble that demands attention.
This is a thick, honeyed floral-animalic. It opens with a bright but brief burst of citrus and spicy cardamom before diving into a dense heart of jasmine and rose. The "animalic" side comes from a heavy dose of cumin and civet-like notes, which give it a warm, "lived-in" skin quality.
