By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens bright and effervescent, a quick flash of citrus that shears away within minutes. Jasmine steps in first, its green-white petals adding soap-clean lift before rose folds in plush pink softness that muffles the jasmine's sharp edges. The two florals merge into a single, slightly sweet bouquet that hovers close to skin for roughly an hour. Sandalwood then steers the scent toward cream-toned woods, while vanilla slowly submerges the flowers in a warm, faintly powdered sugar glaze that lingers as a skin-hug. Projection stays polite, a handshake-radius veil, perfect for office days in spring or early fall when you want floral grace without announcement.
