By the editors · 2 min readPear and lemon open with a gentle, slightly fizzy brightness. The pear is soft and ripe rather than crisp, and it blends easily with the lemon's quiet acidity without either note dominating at the start.
Orange blossom takes over the heart with a clean, luminous quality. It reads more transparent than opulent — no heavy indoles, just a smooth, lightly honeyed floral that bridges the fresh opening to the warmer base.
Benzoin and vanilla close things out with a resinous sweetness that is restrained rather than heavy. The base adds depth and extends longevity while keeping the white floral character intact. Accessible and undemanding, suited to everyday wear across moderate temperatures.
