By the editors · 2 min readNeroli and bergamot offer a citrus brightness, while strawberry and peach lend a sweet, juicy fruitiness. Jasmine, ylang-ylang, and rose form a lush floral heart that feels both classical and slightly tropical. Peony and freesia add a soft, airy quality that prevents the florals from becoming heavy. Sandalwood and vetiver provide a dry, woody base that grounds the sweetness. Vanilla and musk create a smooth, sweet dry-down that lingers close to the skin. The scent projects moderately initially, receding to an intimate trail suited for daytime wear in spring or summer.
