By the editors · 2 min readPlum and violet create an opening that balances fruity sweetness with powdery floral character, establishing an elegant first impression. Orris root intensifies the powderiness in the heart while jasmine and rose add classical floral depth without overwhelming the violet accord. Sandalwood provides a creamy woody foundation in the dry-down that blends with vanilla's soft sweetness and cedar's dry woodiness. The scent evolves gracefully from fruity-floral to a more woody-powdery character over several hours of wear. Moderate projection makes it suitable for close encounters in formal settings, particularly during spring and fall in temperate conditions where its refined balance shines.
