By the editors · 2 min readNeroli opens with a bitter, citrus-floral spark that feels both fresh and slightly aromatic, avoiding the typical sweetness of orange blossom. Magnolia adds a creamy, waxy floralcy to the heart that blends with saffron's earthy leatheriness and fig's milky green fruit note, creating a unique textural contrast. Amber in the base provides a warm, resinous foundation that smooths out the composition and adds a subtle vanillic sweetness without overpowering the green facets. The scent remains relatively linear after the first hour, projecting softly as an intimate aura with longevity around five hours. Best for daytime wear in spring or summer.
