By the editors · 2 min readFennel snaps open with a cool, anise-green bite that feels like crushed twigs. Tuberose sweeps in almost immediately, its creamy white petals sweetening the anise and turning the heart into a seaside garden after rain; neroli adds a faintly bitter orange shimmer while clary sage keeps the white Floral airy rather than narcotic. Ambergris washes everything in a salty, skin-warmed musk that smells like tide-line driftwood, and vetiver threads dry grass through the bloom so the sweetness never cloys. Over four hours the flowers recede, leaving a sun-bleached amber skin scent that still carries a trace of fennel snap. Projection stays within arm’s length; perfect for breezy spring afternoons or a casual dockside dinner.
