By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain snaps open with a bitter-green flash that quickly sweetens as ylang-ylang pours in creamy, banana-tinted custard. The heart trio locks into a plush white-floral cushion: jasmine lends indolic depth, rose keeps the petals crisp, and ylang continues its velvety glide so nothing turns screechy. After ninety minutes the florals recede, letting tonka’s soft almond facet mingle with vanillin to create a pale almond-powder skin halo that smells like warm mar塾on skin. Projection stays polite—an arm-length bubble for the first three hours—then collapses to a sheer white musk. Spring office days and cool summer weddings fit its clean solar aura; heat amplifies the ylang’s coconut edge, while winter coats swallow it.
