By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit snaps open with a tart, slightly bitter zest that immediately reads as chilled citrus rind rather than juice. Lily of the valley slides in within minutes, adding a rain-green watery facet that keeps the grapefruit from turning candied, while rose contributes a sheer petal layer that softens the edges without announcing itself as full floral. Lychee appears as a translucent berry sweetness hovering just above the flowers, lending a tropical lift that feels like crushed ice rather than syrup. The base stays light: clean cedar shavings, a dusting of white musk, and patchouli earthy-green facet used sparingly to anchor the composition without darkening it. Wear time stretches to six hours but stays close to the skin, projecting a bright, shower-fresh aura ideal for office or weekend brunch in spring through early fall.
