By the editors · 2 min readNeroli flashes first, a clean orange-blossom brightness sharpened by bergamot that feels almost effervescent on skin. Jasmine then blooms, its indolic creaminess thickening the accord while lily-of-the-valley injects a cool, green-tinged wateriness that keeps the floral heart from turning syrupy. Rose arrives late in the heart, adding a faintly powdery softness that bridges to the base. Patchouli dominates the dry-down, delivering an earthy, slightly camphoraceous wood that swallows most of the citrus and trims the white petals to a shadow. Cedar stays low, lending quiet sawdust texture, while musk drapes the remaining accord in a sheer, skin-hugging veil. Projection hovers at conversational distance for four hours then collapses to a musky wood-powder whisper perfect for close-office spring days or a breezy brunch patio.
