By the editors · 2 min readBergamot provides a crisp citrus opening that quickly yields to violet leaf's ozonic green sharpness and iris's powdery earthiness. Sandalwood emerges with its creamy-woody warmth, blending with ambergris's saline mineral quality and musk's clean skin affinity. The composition shifts from fresh-aquatic top notes to a more grounded powdery-woody base over two to three hours. Sillage starts intimate and remains close, projecting just beyond personal space for the first hour before settling skin-close. Longevity stretches to six or seven hours, making it ideal for spring and fall wear in casual or work settings.
