By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit opens bright, tart, and slightly bitter, slicing through humid air with a pink-pulp clarity. Lily of the valley slips in within minutes, adding a cool, rain-splashed green sweetness that softens the citrus without turning sugary. Ambroxan and musk anchor the base, stretching the white petals into a clean, salt-tinged skinlike haze that lingers close but long. The composition stays linear: bright top, watery heart, mineral dry-down, never thickening into true amber or woods. Projection is polite, a handshake’s reach for five hours before it settles as a sheer skin whisper. Office-safe summer staple, happiest in linen and open windows.
