By the editors · 2 min readNeroli and bergamot open with a bright citrus-floral freshness that feels crisp and slightly green. Jasmine and ylang-ylang deepen the floral heart, adding a creamy and slightly tropical richness alongside a soft rose. Sandalwood and vetiver provide a dry, woody base that is smoothed by vanilla and opoponax resin. Frankincense adds a subtle smoky and church-like incense quality that lifts the composition. Musk and ambrette seed create a soft, skin-like finish that is intimate and lasting. This evolves from fresh floral to a warm, resinous woody-musk over several hours.
