The Story
Athena opens with a bright, zesty burst of tangerine and bergamot laced with a warm, rosy hint of pink pepper. The heart blooms into a lush, creamy bouquet of jasmine sambac and ylang-ylang, radiating a sophisticated feminine energy. As it settles onto the skin, a comforting, powdery base of sweet vanilla and smooth sandalwood emerges, wrapped in a subtle touch of earthy patchouli.
