The night has a scent different from that of the day, and this fragrance was crafted solely in the language of the night. It begins with a bright, fruity sweetness that entices from the very first spritz, then glides into a dark rose shrouded in a light haze. The sweetness here is not childlike but mature and mysterious, more like a dessert served after midnight. Imagine a dimly lit room, a velvet curtain, and a laugh that arrives before its owner. Each layer opens the door to a deeper one, until the scent settles into your memory. Anyone who comes near you will remember the scent before they remember any other details.
It is a fragrance exclusively for women. It belongs to the fruity oriental fragrance family with a touch of sweetness—a family that is perfect for cold nights and extended gatherings. It has a mysterious, sensual, and alluring character—boldly feminine and unapologetic. It is perfect for evening outings and events in the fall and winter, as well as for weddings and special dates. It has high longevity and strong sillage, leaving a distinct scent on clothing that lasts until the next day. For this reason, it’s best to use fewer sprays in small, enclosed spaces and limit yourself to a single spray during the day.
Top Notes
The composition opens with lychee, with its juicy sweetness and a light rosy undertone. Red berries join in with their gentle tartness, creating a bright, fruity opening that immediately captures the attention. The opening feels both delicious and cool at the same time, as if the fruit had just been taken out of the ice. Yet from the very first moment, it hints at something deeper to come; here, the sweetness is a door that opens onto a darker room.
The Heart of the Fragrance
The heart reveals the essence of Damask rose in all its intensity and velvety richness. This is counterbalanced by incense with its resinous smokiness, lending the rose a dark depth and distinct mystery. The fruity sparkle fades here, giving way to a sense of dignity and warmth. This interplay between blossom and smoke is the very heart of the fragrance’s character, giving it an evening-appropriate quality that sets it apart from light, fruity scents.
Base Note
The finish is anchored by Tahitian vanilla and praline, with their deliciously creamy sweetness. Patchouli balances them with its earthy depth, preventing the sweetness from becoming cloying. Papyrus adds a noble dryness that gives the drydown an elegant edge and anchors it. This blend is why the scent lingers for hours after application—and why you’ll still find its scent on your coat the next day.
Who is this fragrance for?
For those who love sweet, mysterious fragrances with a strong presence and aren’t looking for a light, everyday scent. Spray it in the evening on your pulse points and on your coat or shawl to make the scent last longer. A single spritz on your hair is enough to leave a trail that follows you throughout the evening. It’s a thoughtful gift for a woman who loves to be reminded of her scent on special occasions.
