By the editors · 2 min readA small bergamot opening hands quickly to the heart, where the perfume actually lives: magnolia rounded by clove and cinnamon, with rose underwriting the floral core. The spice keeps it from reading as a straight white-floral — there is a baked, slightly old-world warmth to the bouquet.
As the heart settles, the rose grows more legible against the spice, and the magnolia's lemon-cream edge softens. It develops the cast of a floral that has been sitting in a wood-paneled room rather than a garden.
Sandalwood and oakmoss anchor the base in a chypre register, dry and faintly green. The whole holds together at conversational projection through cool evenings and dinner-out occasions, and reads as decidedly feminine without going sweet.
