The First Spray
The citrus arrives bright and immediate. Brazilian orange gives a tropical, juicy sweetness while pink pepper adds a subtle warmth and spice. The combination crackles against the skin like a spark in a dark room. There's no hesitation here, just a confident opening that announces the fragrance without overwhelming.

- Versatile enough for day and night
- Sillage stays intimate, not room-filling
- May feel too warm for hot summer days
- Moderate projection means reapplication helps
- Not bold enough for those who want presence

At Night We Dance opens bright, turns warm, and settles close. The frankincense drydown either becomes your thing or it doesn't, tell us which it was.
