By the editors · 2 min readJasmine dominates the opening, its indolic white-floral heft pushing against ylang-ylang's banana-sweet oiliness while May rose keeps the bouquet firmly anchored in velvet-petaled richness. The pairing creates a plush yellow-floral accord that feels almost lactonic, yet the jasmine's green edge stops it from sliding into custard. Sandalwood arrives early, its creamy lactones threading through the flowers to give them a polished wooden frame, while patchouli adds a light, earthy tobacco tone that darkens the petals without roughing them up. Musk blankets the final hours, softening wood and flower into a skin-close hum that projects no farther than a silk scarf. The scent stays linear: the rose-jasmine heart merely grows quieter and creamier as the sandalwood expands, never truly leaving.
