A lush, exotic white floral with a distinctive tea-like facet — silky and orchid-adjacent, with soft fruity (dried apricot, peach) and delicate spicy nuances. Opens green and slightly bitter before settling into a warm, honeyed magnolia-like sweetness that lingers.AI · claude-opus-4-7

Uses in perfumery
