By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain and neroli provide a bitter-citrus and floral orange blossom opening that is bright and slightly aromatic, avoiding excessive sweetness. Jasmine and rose form a narcotic floral heart that feels lush and slightly indolic, though the rose remains soft and powdery rather than bold. Sandalwood and vetiver create a dry, creamy-woody base that supports the musky dry-down, allowing the white florals to linger as a skin-scent trail. Evolution is gradual over three hours, with initial moderate projection that becomes intimate and powdery. Longevity extends to six or seven hours, making it suitable for spring or fall formal occasions.
