By the editors · 2 min readNeroli, ylang-ylang, lemon, and bergamot rise together with a soapy, almost waxy lift — a top that feels powdered and bright at once, distinctive against most contemporary openings.
Jasmine, lily of the valley, iris, and rose form a layered floral middle that is tightly woven rather than soliflore: each flower tempers the next, no single voice dominating.
The base is the long act — oakmoss, vetiver, civet, amber, vanilla, sandalwood, patchouli, and musk settle into a powdery, faintly animalic warmth that wears closer and closer over hours. The arc is unmistakable: aerated and crystalline at first, then quietly intimate, a textbook example of the aldehydic-floral chord even when aldehydes aren't called out.
