The touch of platinum on the skin is akin to that of the finest silk cloth. The fragrance opens with the sharp pull of a zipper with spicy, licorice-like top notes of star anise and minty fresh geranium, but soon after comes a voluptuous floral brocade threaded thickly with the floral filigrees of sambac jasmine, lily of the valley, violets, and lilacs. An airy heliotrope, milky white in its almond fineness, creamy sandalwood, the whitest of amber accords, silver-grey oakmoss, and a fine white musk are among the other priceless, shimmering silvery threads woven into the dense cloth towards the base. These pearly strands intertwine with the brocade to give it the shining sheen of the finest platinum?a material that is worth more than gold.
