Intensely tropical passion fruit merge with the earthiness of baies rose evoking the unique feeling of wet earth after a tropical storm, surrounded by fruit trees. The intoxicating headiness of Chinese Osmanthus accentuates the warm and floral orris fusion notes before the intensity of patchouli heart takes hold amid the unexpected enigmatic camphoraceous cedarwood atlas.
