A Fleeting Affair

Delicate flowers (especially orange blossom, lavender, violet) on a fine animalic base (civet, castoreum, ambergris) with a somewhat pronounced cinnamon note. A simultaneously sweet and spicy fragrance that still radiates an unusual, hypnotic lightness, which unfortunately also applies to its longevity: after 3 hours, at least for me, it was all over.
