By the editors · 2 min readBergamot and violet open together — bergamot polished citrus, violet adding a powdery-floral lift with its candied, slightly green sweetness. The combination is soft and a touch retro, immediately signaling a powdered-floral direction.
Ylang-ylang carries the heart with its banana-sweet, faintly custardy yellow-floral character. Without a supporting white floral or fruit, it stands prominent and unmodified, deepening the violet's sweetness into something fuller and creamier.
Sandalwood, amber, vanilla, patchouli, and musk close the base in a classic ambery-woody blend. Sandalwood and amber lend resinous warmth, vanilla rounds the sweetness, patchouli darkens it, and musk smooths everything down. Overall character: a powdery yellow-floral oriental with a warm sweet drydown. Projection moderate, longevity strong, drydown holds.
