By the editors · 2 min readStar anise lands first, a liquorice snap that pulls peach skin and bitter grapefruit into a fizzy, slightly syrupy opening. Lavender quickly slices through the sweetness, its cool herbal edge sharpening the citrus while rose adds a clean, soap-like transparency that keeps the heart airy. As the top notes retreat, vetiver and ambroxan build a dry, woody-amber glow that feels more mineral than earthy, letting heliotrope drift in with a faint almond-powder echo that softens the musk. The dry-down stays close, a skin-warmed clean wood halo with a lingering trace of liquorice candy. Projection sits at desk-distance for four hours, ideal for summer office days when you want noticeable but unintrusive freshness.
