By the editors · 2 min readLemon opens with a bright, slightly candied zest that quickly folds into violet’s cool, powdery petals, creating a sweet-tart floral lemonade effect. The heart stays violet-forward, but the flower’s chalky edge is softened by a praline undercurrent that drifts in early, carrying toasted almond and caramelized sugar tones. As the praline dissolves, sandalwood supplies creamy wood and amber adds a resinous glow, while musk blankets the base in clean skin-warmed fuzz. The dry-down remains sweet and fuzzy rather than dense, with violet still lifting the amber–praline accord so it never turns heavy or syrupy. Projection sits at arm’s length for the first three hours, then pulls closer as a soft woody-musk skin glow. Works best in cool spring or crisp fall weather for daytime casual wear.
