Short profile

Opening with an airy, sweet radiance, the fragrance quickly reveals vinous and rum-like nuances alongside dried fruit character. At its core, it develops a deep honeyed warmth balanced by classic cistus resin qualities, dried herb accents, and subtle tobacco hints reminiscent of warm scrubland. Concurrently, a delicate floral aspect evocative of classic hyacinth and cinnamic rose varieties unfolds, linking easily into richer layers. Through the dry-down, it presents a smooth, ambery balsamic profile that retains cinnamic sweetness entirely free from harsh spice.

Effect in a formula

This ester imparts a gentle, mellow roundness to rich balsamic and oriental accords without weighting them down or adding unwanted colour. It operates as a seamless harmonizer between botanical resins and floral hearts, bolstering heritage cinnamic notes in rose architectures. In warm foundation blends, it contributes sweet liqueur tones and acts as a cohesive bridge uniting heavier resins with vanilla.
