A fragrance of theatrical grandeur and uncompromising luxury. The overture begins with an effervescent citrus crescendo—Amalfi lemon and Persian lime dance with bitter orange and pink grapefruit, their brilliance sharpened by black currant bud and a surprising touch of rum. This is citrus elevated to haute couture heights.
The second act reveals extraordinary depth. Rare florals—heliotrope, jasmine sambac, and violet—mingle with aromatic tarragon and thyme. But the true star is musk mallow, its powdery sweetness creating an almost edible softness that contrasts beautifully with the green sharpness of galbanum and the spiced warmth of nutmeg and cumin. The finale is nothing short of magnificent. A classic chypre base of oakmoss and patchouli provides gravitas, while precious woods—Mysore sandalwood, guaiac, and cedar—add creamy depth. Labdanum, benzoin, and Peru balsam create a resinous sweetness, anchored by leather, civet, and ambergris for unparalleled animalic sophistication.
Vanilla and tonka bean provide the final gourmand flourish. This is fragrance as grand opera—complex, dramatic, and absolutely unforgettable. For connoisseurs who demand nothing less than perfection.
