    Description

    Amank'ay by ALTAIA opens with a sparkling, almost luminous quality, where the crispness of nashi pear meets a gentle hint of pink pepper, creating an inviting and slightly fruity introduction. As it settles, a delicate lotus flower emerges, softened by the subtle, clean muskiness of Helvetolide, lending an ethereal and aquatic depth to the heart. The fragrance then gracefully transitions into a warm, creamy drydown, where ambrette seeds provide a soft, skin-like warmth, beautifully grounded by the smooth, comforting embrace of sandalwood. This scent evokes a feeling of serene beauty and tender affection, like a quiet moment in a blooming meadow. Perfumer: Coralie Spicher
