By the editors · 2 min readLemon and bergamot provide a bright citrus opening that quickly recedes behind jasmine and orange blossom's floral intensity. Lavender and ylang-ylang introduce an aromatic floral heart, complemented by rose and patchouli's earthy greenness. The base reveals sandalwood's creamy woodiness, vetiver's rooty dryness, and myrrh's resinous depth, with civet adding a subtle animalic warmth. Vanilla and cedar offer a sweet woody foundation that ties the complex accords together. This scent evolves significantly over hours, projecting moderately before settling intimately. Longevity is strong, suited for daytime wear in spring or fall, balancing freshness with depth.
