Its longevity is rated very strong and its sillage strong, so it stays present through the day and carries well around you. There are no season or occasion votes to lean on, but its balance suits both men and women comfortably.
Violet in the top brings freshness and a light floral touch. In the heart, Akigalawood® and everlasting flower add a spicy, woody warmth. Amber and sandalwood close the base with a creamy, oriental softness. Jo Malone Orris & Sandalwood and Anfas Salam have a close profile.
