Mandarin provides gentle citrus brightness and freshness, while peach adds a smooth, velvety fruitiness that prepares the composition for its rich white-floral heart.

Tuberose absolute forms the defining signature with its creamy, sensual white-floral character. Ylang-ylang adds rich floral warmth, while orange blossom introduces luminous softness and balances the intensity of the tuberose.
