By the editors · 2 min readLemon and neroli open with a bright, citrusy freshness that is both zesty and slightly floral. Freesia adds a light, aqueous floral character that enhances the clean opening. Sandalwood provides a soft, creamy woody base that emerges early in the wear. Musk dominates the dry-down, giving a clean, skin-like warmth that lingers close to the body. The composition is linear and simple, focusing on a clean citrus-musk accord with minimal evolution. Projection is intimate and longevity is moderate, ideal for casual daytime use in warm weather.
