By the editors · 2 min readBergamot provides a bright, citrus opening that is sharp and slightly aromatic. Ylang-ylang and cedar form a floral woody heart that is creamy and slightly sweet with tropical undertones. Vetiver and patchouli create an earthy, dry base that is softened by vanilla's warm sweetness. The scent evolves from citrus freshness to a woody, earthy dry-down with moderate projection. Longevity is good, suited for fall and winter wear in casual or evening settings.
