By the editors · 2 min readIvy opens crisp and photosynthetic, slicing through humid air with a cool green blade that feels almost wet. Ylang-ylang arrives next, pouring a custard-rich tropical floral sweetness that softens the ivy’s edge while keeping the composition airy. Rose threads through the heart, adding a clean, soap-light petal touch that prevents the ylang from becoming cloying. As skin warms the base, cedar and sandalwood lock into a dry blond wood tandem, their quiet grain dusted by labdanum’s faint pine-resin glow and white musk’s freshly-laundered sheet. Projection stays within handshake distance for six hours, making it a polite office companion for temperate spring or early-fall days when you want green without sharpness.
