The refreshing notes of bergamot and lemon blend with aldehydes to create a radiant fragrance. This then transitions to the warm and gentle floral notes of ylang-ylang and tuberose. Cumin adds an accent to these captivating flowers, making it even more enchanting. Leather notes provide an edgy touch, creating a clean and stylish atmosphere reminiscent of a tuxedo suit, yet the fragrance is elegant, genderless, and evokes the city of love, Paris.

The alluring flowers of ylang-ylang and tuberose are elevated to a beautifully genderless impression by the base notes of cumin and ambroxan. Personally, I might find cumin alone somewhat distinctive and reminiscent of the spicy Middle East, but the addition of leather creates a refined finish. Furthermore, the vibrant aldehyde and citrus top notes paint a glittering urban scene, while tuberose adds elegance. Overall, it's a refined fragrance that condenses its charm while maintaining a sophisticated impression. This fragrance elevates the "Middle Eastern character" into a "stylish and fashionable" scent through the use of leather. It's truly a one-of-a-kind fragrance! The unique combination of aldehydes, cumin, and leather creates a wonderfully harmonious, genderless scent that reflects the times. It truly captures the essence of the changing era.
