By the editors · 2 min readOrange and lemon open with a bright, slightly sweet citrus burst that leans more toward candied peel than fresh squeeze. Jasmine arrives quickly, softening the acids with a clean, white-petal cream that keeps the composition lightweight and daytime-appropriate. Myrrh dominates the dry-down, adding a cool, resinous incense that turns the earlier brightness inward, while cedar gives a dry pencil-shaving wood to anchor the incense without adding warmth. The result is a citrus-incense veil rather than a heavy oriental: projection stays close, sillage creates a discreet resin halo for about five hours. Spring through early fall office wear works best; the myrrh keeps it interesting but never loud.
