Performance
Longevity
10-12 hoursOpens with a brilliant lily-bergamot accord that lasts 2-3 hours, transitioning smoothly into the warm amberwood heart. The tonka bean and vanilla base emerge around hour 4 and persist for 10-12 hours, creating a sophisticated skin scent that develops beautifully throughout the evening.
Sillage & Projection
Moderate to StrongRefined sillage that creates an elegant aura in formal settings. Projects moderately for the first 4-6 hours—noticeable in close proximity without overwhelming. Perfect for intimate gatherings and upscale venues where sophistication is key.
Versatility
This is a formal evening fragrance designed for special occasions. While technically wearable year-round, it truly shines in cooler weather at night. The lily-amberwood combination creates black-tie sophistication that's equally suited for weddings, galas, and romantic dinners. Not for casual wear—this demands elegance.

How to Wear
Application
2-3 sprays for formal occasions. Target the neck and one wrist—this fragrance is potent and designed for close-proximity elegance. One spray on the chest creates an intimate scent bubble perfect for dates. For weddings and galas, consider one spray on your jacket lapel for lasting sophistication.
Layering
Best worn alone to appreciate its refined composition. If layering, use only with unscented or lightly woody grooming products. Avoid anything citrus-heavy or sweet—this fragrance is a complete formal statement.
Storage
Store in original box away from light and heat. The lily and vanilla notes benefit from stable temperatures. Keep in a cool, dark place to maintain the fresh-woody balance. Properly stored, this fragrance matures beautifully.
