By the editors · 2 min readLily of the valley and bergamot open clean and dewy — the lily's watery-petal quality leading, bergamot adding a citrus brightness that keeps the top airy rather than soapy. The first impression reads spring-garden, slightly traditional.
Jasmine, ylang-ylang, more lily of the valley, and rose fill the middle as a generous full-bodied bouquet. Ylang adds yellow-floral creaminess, jasmine warmth, rose a thin sweet thread — the heart feels like a deliberately old-fashioned floral arrangement, polished and proper.
Sandalwood, oakmoss, opoponax, patchouli, and musk close the composition with a chypre-leaning floor, oakmoss leading dry and green-mossy, opoponax adding balsamic depth. An aldehydic floral-chypre with vintage architecture, full and feminine in the most classical sense.
