Its top notes are African orange blossom, heart notes are jasmine and base notes include patchouli, Virginia cedar, rose and white honey. It is described as an elegant and sophisticated fragrance, suitable for any time of the year and for a variety of occasions. The crystal bottle is cut with faceted and prismatic shapes, reflecting an original and elegant signature design.

The large perfume display bottles of top brands, also called factices, are key pieces in the windows of luxury perfumeries, such as the historic Perfumerías Regia. Their main purpose is the advertising display and the enhancement of the brand's prestige on a large scale. These bottles are exact and monumental replicas of the retail packaging, typically varying between 30 and 60 cm in height to capture the attention of the passerby. Their design is identical to the original (copying the shape of the glass, the cap and even the typography). In the context of prestigious perfumeries, these replicas function as a symbol of status and luxury. As the focal point of the window display, they reinforce the brand image of international houses (such as Chanel, Dior or Guerlain) and become a form of three-dimensional advertising that ensures that the iconic shape of the bottle is immediately associated with the exclusivity of the product.
