By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit flashes first, a tart pink wedge that drags bergamot’s metallic edge across the opening minute. Magnolia steps in almost immediately, its cool waxen petals cushioned by ylang’s banana-sweet oil and a dusting of nutmeg, while cardamom crackles quietly underneath, keeping the heart buoyant rather than creamy. The white floral chorus stays airy, yet cinnamon warms the seams, letting a muted leather accord emerge as if the flowers had been pressed between suede pages. Dry-down folds sandalwood’s dry milk into pale amber and clean white musk, so the scent ends as a soft, spiced skin glow rather than a bomb. Projection hovers at arm’s length for five hours, perfect for spring office days or cool summer brunches.
