“Pre-tone”
The opening was a sweet caramel, but soon the sharp metallic almonds and saffron took the lead. However, there was also an old-fashioned “disinfectant” scent, with a cold and not sweet sweet aroma, and a strong sense of detachment.
Middle tone
The delicate jasmine and the refreshing cedar in the middle note gradually emerge within the metallic feel, with a hint of caramel sweetness interwoven. The middle note is a blend of strength and softness, with a slightly sweet and metallic woody floral scent.
Back tone
The metallic feel and the “disinfectant” scent weaken at the end. The jasmine fragrance is faintly visible. The finish of musk and ambergris makes the scent more lingering and close to the skin. The notes and the middle notes do not change much.
