By the editors · 2 min readNeroli dominates the opening, presenting a honeyed orange-blossom facet that feels slightly waxy and green rather than sparkling. Bergamot slices underneath with a thin metallic citrus edge, preventing the white floral from turning too creamy. Vetiver enters early, its dry grass smoke pulling the citrus downward while introducing an earthy rootiness that foreshadows the base. Tonka bean soon blankets the heart, adding a soft marzipan sweetness that softens vetiver’s stern edges. Sandalwood and patchouli merge in the dry-down: the sandalwood supplies a creamy, blond wood cushion, while patchouli contributes a cool, cocoa-tinged earth that keeps the tonka from cloying. Projection stays within conversational distance for six hours before folding into a clean, nutty skin trail. The composition reads as a cool-weather, office-friendly woody oriental with modest complexity and moderate longevity around seven hours.
