By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit and bergamot offer a tart, citrusy opening that is bright and slightly bitter, providing an energetic start. A complex floral heart quickly emerges, dominated by ylang-ylang and orange blossom, which impart a sweet, narcotic yellow-floral character with hints of banana-like richness. Iris and mimosa contribute a powdery, soft texture that blends with narcissus's green floralcy and styrax's faint balsamic sweetness, creating a multifaceted and slightly vintage floral accord. The dry-down features tonka bean and amber, which add a vanillic sweetness and warm resinous quality, while patchouli provides an earthy base and musk ensures a soft, skin-close finish. This composition shifts from a citrusy top to a dense floral heart and finally a sweet, ambery base with notable evolution. Sillage is moderate, lasting a full day with a powdery and floral trail that suits formal spring events.
