By the editors · 2 min readBergamot snaps open with a bright, slightly bitter citrus edge that feels almost effervescent against skin. The heart is skipped, so the transition is immediate: within minutes the sandalwood rises, carrying a creamy, blond wood warmth that smooths the citric snap into something softly spiced. On skin the wood stays close, never turning powdery or syrupy; instead it keeps a clean, lactonic roundness that feels like fresh-cut timber still holding sap. Projection stays polite—an arm-length halo for three hours—then settles into a skin-embrace that lingers as a clean, woody musk through the workday. Best worn when you want quiet polish rather than statement; spring through early fall, office or travel.
