By the editors · 2 min readBergamot snaps open with a bright, slightly bitter edge that quickly folds into a heart where lavender dominates, its clean herbaceous bite amplified by ylang-ylang’s creamy banana lift. Violet adds a cool, iris-like dustiness that keeps the rose from turning jammy, instead letting the flower read as a dry, grey-pink petal effect. As the top effervesces, sandalwood’s milked warmth seeps up early, carrying the softer florals into a base where patchouli supplies a chocolate-tinged earth anchor and musk sheathes everything in a skin-hugging fuzz. The dry-down stays smooth and linear, a muted woody musk flecked with ghosted lavender rather than any overt spice. Projection remains polite, a forearm’s-radius aura perfect for office days or cool spring evenings when you want quiet florals over clean wood.
