Opens with a sharp blast of mint and bright lemon that reads almost icy, then green apple softens the edge within the first twenty minutes. The heart is where it earns its reputation — ambroxan and vanilla merge into a warm, skin-close sweetness that smells intentionally seductive without tipping into dessert territory.
