Top notes: The fragrance opens with soft, velvety accords of amber and tobacco, notes that are both comforting and mysterious, creating a warm, luxurious atmosphere right from the start. The tobacco, slightly spicy and full-bodied, contrasts with the sweet amber to offer an enveloping and intriguing introduction.

Heart notes: In the heart, the fragrance reveals the richness of benzoin, bringing resinous, balsamic and almost vanilla notes, accentuating the warm, enveloping character of the composition. Ambergris intensifies the opulence, creating a sensual, seductive effect. These notes evoke the warmth of ancient temples and the sensuality of precious fabrics.

Base notes: The base of the fragrance is a luxurious marriage of vanilla and cistus labdanum, bringing gourmand, slightly smoky and lingering notes. Amber continues in this deep base, reinforced by the comforting softness of vanilla and the rich texture of labdanum, offering a sensation of timeless elegance.
