Description:
Promise begins with a vibrant interplay of apple and pink pepper, offering a crisp and spicy introduction balanced by the herbal sharpness of rosemary. This initial brightness hints at the intensity that lies beneath.
The heart is a lush, dual-rose composition where the rich, velvety Bulgarian and Turkish roses shine, enveloped in the warm spice of clove. This combination evokes an air of sensuality and timeless elegance, creating an opulent floral core.
As the fragrance settles, it reveals a bold and grounded base of earthy patchouli and smoky cypriol oil, paired with the resinous warmth of labdanum. Castoreum adds an animalic depth, while ambroxan lends a soft, musky smoothness, resulting in a dry-down that is both captivating and enduring.
