By the editors · 2 min readA sharp, green galbanum and crisp lemon burst forth, immediately establishing a cool, dewy garden atmosphere. Gardenia and peach add a soft, creamy fruitiness that tempers the initial green sharpness. The heart is a complex floral tapestry where jasmine and rose provide warmth against the cooler lily of the valley and powdery iris. This leads to a dry, earthy base where oakmoss and vetiver create a classic chypre structure, grounded by musky styrax. The scent evolves significantly on skin, moving from a vibrant green opening to a sophisticated, mossy floral dry-down. It maintains moderate projection for many hours, ideal for spring days and formal settings.
