By the editors · 2 min readIvy opens with a crisp, green bitterness that feels more botanical garden than perfume counter—a deliberate detour from sweetness that immediately sets this apart from its lineage. The jasmine that follows is soft but persistent, blending into the ivy's verdant edge rather than overtaking it, as if the white petals were half-obscured by leaves. Virginia cedar arrives as the dry-down anchor, grounding the composition with pencil shavings and a pale woodiness that never quite warms.
The overall effect is unexpectedly restrained for a flanker in this family. Where you might anticipate candy or pink fruit, there's instead a spare, almost androgynous greenness. It wears close to the skin, polite rather than loud, and manages to feel both youthful and quietly serious—a study piece rather than a shout.
