SHORT DESCRIPTION & INTERESTING FACTS

  • The Scent of Perpetual Renewal: Its complex floral aroma is reminiscent of lilies and hyacinths, slowly unfolding and evolving over hours on the skin. This slow evaporation makes it highly coveted as a middle-to-heart note in niche, luxury perfumery and traditional Indian attars.
