By the editors · 2 min readFig leaf opens green and slightly milky, its vegetal bitterness framing the lime’s tart sparkle and bergamot’s sweet oil edge. Basil arrives early beside the lavender heart, pushing the accord from citrus toward crisp Mediterranean herbs while keeping the overall feel airy. Amber and patchouli ground the base, lending a quiet brown-sugar depth, yet a watery lychee twist stops the dry-down from ever becoming heavy. On skin the scent stays linear: the opening citrus-herb brightness lingers, slowly cleaned by soft woods and a faint salty lift that reads as cool shade rather than ocean spray. Projection stays polite, a handshake radius that survives about five hours, perfect for office or weekend brunch from late spring through early fall.
