By the editors · 2 min readThe opening pairs tarragon with bergamot for a slightly anisic, herbal-citrus introduction that reads more grown-up than the title might suggest. There is a brief green crispness before the florals arrive.
The heart turns into a soft mixed bouquet, jasmine and ylang giving a creamy yellow-floral warmth while rose adds a powdery centre. The flowers feel rounded rather than indolic, polished smooth.
Patchouli adds an earthy weight underneath while white musk takes over the close, soft, clean and slightly aldehydic-bright. Overall the character is a powdery floral musk, comfortable and familiar, comfortable in cooler weather and easy as an everyday signature without much demand for attention.
