By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens with a crisp citrus spark that quickly recedes as jasmine, ylang-ylang, and rose take center stage. The floral heart is rich and slightly indolic, with ylang-ylang adding a creamy sweetness. Sandalwood and benzoin in the base provide a warm, resinous foundation, while patchouli contributes an earthy counterpoint. This composition evolves from bright floral to a soft woody-amber dry-down, with moderate projection that stays close after the first hour. It is well-suited for daytime wear in spring or fall, offering a classic floral character with gentle warmth.
