By the editors · 2 min readA breath of coastal air opens this fragrance — bergamot lifts quickly, giving way to a soft marine accord that reads more like a memory of the sea than a literal salt spray. Lily and ylang-ylang sit at the center, neither sharp nor heavy, kept buoyant by the aquatic backdrop.
As it settles, vanilla and amber round the composition into something warmer and more tropical. The overall effect is a clean, sunlit floral with a creamy undertow — light enough for warm afternoons but substantial enough to read as deliberate. It leans beach-friendly rather than complex.
