By the editors · 2 min readLemon and grapefruit deliver a sharp, zesty citrus opening that feels effervescent and slightly tart on initial spray. Bulgarian rose and jasmine form a rich, floral heart with ylang-ylang's tropical creaminess, while iris adds a powdery, elegant texture. Cedar and patchouli introduce a dry, woody-green foundation that supports the floral notes with earthy depth. Oud and frankincense create a dark, resinous-smoky base with sandalwood's creaminess and thyme's herbal sharpness. Musk provides a clean, animalic undertone that enhances longevity and skin affinity. The scent evolves from bright citrus-floral to a complex woody-resinous dry-down with excellent projection and depth, ideal for formal or evening wear in cooler seasons.
