By the editors · 2 min readNeroli and orange launch bright, soapy-citrus sparkle that feels freshly peeled rather than candied. Jasmine steps in within minutes, pushing the white floral register while peony keeps the bouquet airy; apricot adds a faintly syrupy skin that prevents the flowers from turning detergent. Amber and vanilla arrive early, warming the skin and folding the white petals into a soft, clean musk blanket that smells like shower gel left on warm skin. Projection stays polite, a one-foot citrus-floral halo for the first hour before collapsing to a skin-clean musk with lingering apricot sweetness. Office-safe spring scent that behaves like a body spray with better polish; longevity tops out around four hours on fabric.
