By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain and bergamot open with a sharp, aromatic citrus character that is immediately grounded by herbal lavender and rosemary. A smooth sandalwood and jasmine heart emerges, lending a creamy floral quality that softens the initial aromatic bite. Virginia cedar adds a dry, pencil-shaving woodiness that bridges the composition toward the base. Tonka bean and amber provide a warm, slightly sweet resinous foundation, while vetiver contributes an earthy depth and musk ensures a soft skin scent. Projection starts moderately but settles close to the skin within a few hours, offering good longevity for daytime wear in spring or fall. This scent evolves from a bright aromatic opening into a warm, woody-amber dry-down suited for casual or professional settings.
