It opens with fruity notes, lemon and basil, while rosewood and cumin lend the florals a spicy, slightly dry edge. The heart is a full floral blend of rose, lily of the valley, jasmine, ylang-ylang, carnation and iris. In the base, ambergris, sandalwood, benzoin, leather, patchouli, musk and oakmoss carry it into a woody, resinous, earthy and leathery chypre character. Its profile is close to Rochas Femme and Prada Prada.
