By the editors · 2 min readBasil, lime, and lemon open with a sharp, herbaceous citrus burst that feels invigorating and clean. The heart introduces ylang-ylang's creamy floral sweetness, contrasted by the warm, pungent spice of clove and the classic rosy character of Damask rose. This creates a quirky but harmonious blend of herbal, floral, and spicy elements. Musk in the base provides a soft, neutral foundation that allows the brighter notes to shine without becoming cloying. The composition remains relatively linear, maintaining its bright herbal-citrus character for the first hour before fading to a musky skin scent. Light projection and moderate longevity make it best for hot summer days and casual outdoor activities where a fresh, uplifting scent is desired.
