Peach and mango give the fragrance a juicy sweetness, while basil and bamboo keep it fresh. Almond and coffee carry the gourmand side; amber, sandalwood and patchouli build a woody, earthy and oriental base underneath. Iris stays in the background and softens the whole. The spicy accord keeps the sweetness from turning sugary.
