By the editors · 2 min readBergamot flashes first, a brief citric sparkle that parts quickly for ylang-ylang’s custard-sweet oiliness. Jasmine and ylang lock into a creamy yellow-floral tandem, their banana-like lactones cushioned by violet’s cool powder. The effect is soft, almost talcum, with the violet flattening the bouquet rather than sharpening it. Within an hour the musk base rises, pulling the florals close to skin and ironing out most remaining curvature; what lingers is a clean, faintly sweet skin musk with only a ghost of ylang’s buttery trace. Projection stays polite, a forearm-length aura that collapses to whisper by hour three. Office-friendly and heat-tolerant, it behaves like a lightweight summer veil best worn spring through early fall.
