By the editors · 2 min readOrange blossom dominates the opening, releasing a honeyed white-floral radiance that bergamot sharpens into a clean, soap-like brightness. The heart layers neroli’s green-stemmed bitterness over iris’s cool, carrot-root powder, creating a matte floral screen that mutes the initial sweetness. Vetiver threads through this transition, adding dried-grass smoke that steers the scent away from confection and toward sunbaked skin. Vanilla arrives late but stays quiet, rounding the rough vetiver edges while patchouli supplies a dry, chocolate-brown earth that prevents any creaminess from taking over. Projection stays within arm’s length for six hours, projecting best in humid heat where the neroli re-activates. Overall character: a solar, slightly salty white floral with a desiccated woody base rather than the expected vanilla dessert.
