By the editors · 2 min readLavender, cardamom, and bergamot create an aromatic, slightly spicy-green opening that feels both classic and crisp. Galbanum adds a sharp, sappy greenness that cuts through the top notes with a cool, almost metallic edge. Gardenia and tuberose bloom in the heart, offering a creamy, indolic floral character that contrasts with the aromatic greenness of the opening. Vetiver, cedar, and musk provide a dry, earthy-woody base that grounds the florals without sweetness, while orange blossom lends a faint floralcy. The scent evolves from green-aromatic to white floral and finally a dry, woody-musky finish. Projection is moderate with good longevity, suited for spring or fall daytime wear.
