By the editors · 2 min readLemon and bergamot open with brisk citrus brightness that quickly softens as jasmine and ylang-ylang rise, their creamy yellow florals blurring the edges while lily-of-the-valley injects cool green sparkle. Rose adds a faintly powdered sweetness that bridges the heart to the base, where sandalwood’s dry cream meets oakmoss’s bitter green crust, vetiver sharpening the woody spine. Civet lurks low, lending a quiet animalic growl that keeps the musk from turning clean, so the dry-down smells like sun-warmed skin pressed against mossy bark. Projection stays within arm’s length for six hours, tilting formal and cool-weather friendly. Complexity is moderate but steady, the florals never fully vanishing, just growing fuzzier as the woods and musk settle.
