By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain and mint open with a crisp aromatic greenness, brightened by a subtle orange citrus lift that feels refreshingly cool on initial contact. Neroli and orange blossom emerge quickly, their white floral character providing a smooth, slightly honeyed heart that tempers the initial sharpness. The dry-down introduces a warm, resinous foundation where labdanum and benzoin blend into a soft amber accord, grounded by dry guaiac wood and the earthy, mossy depth of oakmoss. This composition evolves from a bright aromatic freshness into a comfortably warm, ambery-woody base with moderate projection that stays close to the skin after the first hour. Best suited for spring and summer days, it carries a clean, composed character appropriate for casual and work settings. Longevity extends through a full workday with a scent trail that remains intimate and personal.
