By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain and neroli create a bright citrus-aromatic opening with a green, slightly bitter edge. Lavender and rosemary reinforce the herbal freshness while adding a clean, aromatic depth to the top notes. Jasmine and clary sage introduce a floral-green heart that feels both elegant and slightly earthy. Galbanum contributes a sharp, green resinous quality that enhances the composition's crispness. Sandalwood and vetiver provide a dry, woody base with earthy undertones, while amber adds a subtle warmth. The scent evolves from fresh-aromatic to a woody-herbal dry-down, projecting moderately for four to six hours in cool spring or fall weather.
