By the editors · 2 min readBergamot flashes first, bright and slightly metallic, cut by nutmeg’s dry spice that keeps the opening crisp rather than sweet. The heart folds in cool iris and powdery violet, their matte texture muting citrus sparkle and steering the scent toward clean wood-powder territory. Sandalwood arrives early in the base, creamy and pale, stitched to amber for soft warmth while styrax adds a quiet leathery smoke that prevents full soap cleanliness. Musk and a faint rose accent linger closest to skin, creating a freshly-showered effect that stays polite for office hours. Projection sits at arm’s length for about five hours before collapsing into a sandalwood skin veil, ideal for warm days when you want woody polish without announcing it across the room.
