By the editors · 2 min readGardenia opens with creamy white floral richness accompanied by raspberry's tart fruitiness and peach's soft sweetness. Jasmine and lily of the valley create a fresh floral heart while rose adds classical floral depth. Sandalwood provides smooth woody support that transitions into the base where oakmoss contributes earthy mossy character. Amber lends warm resinous qualities while cedar adds dry woodiness and musk provides skin-scent foundation. The composition maintains good projection for several hours, evolving from fruity-floral to woody-mossy. Suitable for spring and summer daytime wear, particularly for formal or work occasions where its classic floral character remains appropriate.
