By the editors · 2 min readBergamot flashes metallic-green citrus brightness for two minutes before violet’s cool, slightly woody ionones mute it to a soft lavender-grey haze. Rose steps in next, a clean tea-rose that keeps violet’s powder in check, letting the purple note read more fabric than cosmetic. Sandalwood arrives early, its creamy lactones folding the florals into a pale wood skin-scent that stays flat and close. Projection drops to whisper within thirty minutes, yet the trio hums quietly for hours, a tidy, soapy pastel veil suited to office days when you want to smell freshly showered rather than perfumed.
