Editorial
The fragrance opens with strong notes of cardamom, complemented by citrusy hints like mandarin and a subtle hint of ginger. The beginning is spicy, invigorating, and full of addictive energy, which might make the fragrance seem a little overpowering at first.
Heart of the Perfume
The heart unfolds to reveal a rich blend of Indian kulfi—a traditional iced dessert-like ingredient—with a floral bouquet of orange blossom, jasmine, and perhaps a subtle hint of rose. This creamy floral combination gives the fragrance an expressive and sensual aromatic dimension.
The base
The fragrance eventually settles on a warm amber base; strong sandalwood; vanilla and luxurious notes such as tonka bean; plus a leathery or near-leathery touch that makes the fragrance retain its character even hours after use.
Summary
Character: Oriental-sweet-spicy-strong woody, elegant and luxurious.
Staying: Very strong — expected to last about 8-10 hours or more, especially on clothing.
