As the fragrance develops, the Turkish rose takes center stage, supported by a classic rose note. This is not a powdery or old fashioned rose but a vibrant, dewy bloom that feels modern and sophisticated. The rose is beautifully complemented by the fruity litchi, creating a harmonious balance between floral and fruity accords.  

In the base, vanilla and tonka bean provide warmth and sweetness, while cedar adds a woody depth that grounds the fragrance. The combination of these base notes creates a cozy, slightly nutty undertone that lingers on the skin, making the dry down both inviting and comforting.
