By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens cleanly, with a citrus brightness that sets the stage without lingering long. Jasmine, peony, and rose form a full, warm floral heart, softened by vanilla that pulls the sweetness toward a creamy register. Patchouli grounds the base with a mild earthiness that keeps the sweetness from becoming cloying.
The musk stitches everything together into a skin-close finish. This is a floral oriental in character — rich in the heart, gently earthy in the drydown, with vanilla adding a dessert-adjacent warmth. It wears comfortably across seasons without demanding attention, settling into something rounded and approachable.
