Signature pair: Jasmine Sambac and Benzoin

In plain words

The main accords of Besos are powdery and musky. It opens with Madagascar Pepper and Italian Mandarin, reveals Iris and Jasmine Sambac at its heart, and dries down to Musk and Benzoin. It lasts long and projects strongly; people reach for it in spring, mostly by day.
