The top opens with fruity notes, rhubarb, spicy notes and orange blossom, giving a fresh but slightly sharp floral start. In the heart, jasmine, mimosa and violet carry the floral character, while milk softens them. The base of musk, sandalwood and vanilla adds a sweet, powdery warmth, and the animalic notes and solar note bring out its smoky, leathery side. The floral accord is balanced by woody and animal tones throughout. Its profile is close to Chanel Cuir de Russie (Eau de Toilette) and Guerlain Cuir Intense.
