By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens briefly clean and slightly bitter, a quick citrus brushstroke that hands off within minutes. More transition than statement.
Magnolia, lily of the valley, and rose compose the heart. The trio reads aldehydic and slightly soapy — magnolia adds lemony lift, lily of the valley a green dewy edge, rose a soft jammy weight. The white-floral character dominates, polished and clean rather than indolic.
Sandalwood and musk form the base. The drydown is creamy and warm, florals persisting on a quiet wood-musk foundation. No spice or animalic — the composition stays light and feminine. Moderate projection, respectable longevity, settling into a clean floral skin scent.
