By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens briefly and brightly, lasting only a moment before the heart pulls everything toward warmer territory. There is no extended top phase to enjoy; the composition is impatient to get to its center.
Ylang-ylang occupies that center fully, in its creamy, slightly banana-tinged tropical character. The single floral note is allowed to breathe without competition, expanding outward for a long stretch.
Vanilla forms the base, smoothing the floral and adding a soft sweet warmth that reads as custard rather than dessert-syrup. Overall the character is a focused two-note study, ylang and vanilla, with citrus as decoration. Projection sits at moderate, the development is essentially linear, and the long drydown stays creamy and slightly tropical close to skin.
