By the editors · 2 min readBergamot snaps open with a brisk, slightly bitter citrus edge that quickly picks up crisp apple skin tartness. Apple folds into lily-of-the-valley and orange blossom, creating a dewy white-floral heart that muffles the fruit without erasing it. Vanilla anchors the transition, turning the bouquet creamy while patchouli adds a dry cocoa-earth undertone that reins in sweetness. Clean white musk dominates the later hours, shepherding the patchouli into a soft suede-like skin aura where traces of apple still glimmer. Projection hovers at arm’s length for the first three hours, then settles to a quiet, slightly powdered vanilla-musk haze ideal for daytime work or casual spring outings.
