| Category | Key Notes You Will Smell | The Scent Experience |
| Top Notes (The “Sparkle”) | Bergamot, Mandarin Orange, Aldehydes | The aldehydes create a shimmering, airy, and “golden” luminosity, lifting the citrus notes to give a dazzling, clean opening. |
| Heart Notes (The Floral Heart) | Rose, Vanilla Absolute, Geranium, Freesia | The vanilla is introduced early, lending a creamy, smooth texture to the sophisticated, multi-faceted rose. |
| Base Notes (The Golden Veil) | Vanilla, Tonka Bean, Akigalawood, Patchouli | A warm, sensual, and long-lasting dry-down. The Akigalawood (a type of Patchouli molecule) offers a clean, peppery woodiness without the typical heavy earthiness of patchouli, keeping the scent elegant. |
