By the editors · 2 min readJasmine dominates from the first breath, its indolic yellow-floral heft amplified by ylang-ylang's banana-sweet oiliness. Clove buds and a flash of ginger supply a warm, almost candied spice that keeps the white flowers from turning too clean. Virginia cedar arrives quickly, shaving the tropical creaminess into drier wood shavings that carry a faint citrus echo of the unlisted lemon and bergamot. Amber and musk settle underneath, giving a soft golden glow rather than heavy resin, so the scent stays buoyant, like jasmine still clinging to evening air. Projection remains polite, a skin-close veil that lasts about six hours and feels most at home on warm spring nights or a Mediterranean balcony.
