By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain opens with a green citrus aroma that feels both fresh and slightly bitter. Violet emerges quickly, contributing a powdery floral quality that softens the initial sharpness. Labdanum adds a resinous warmth that blends with the violet's powderiness. Vetiver and styrax in the base provide an earthy balsamic depth that grounds the composition. The scent evolves linearly, maintaining a balanced aromatic-powdery character throughout wear. Projection remains intimate, staying close to the skin with longevity around five hours. Suitable for casual or work settings in spring or fall.
