By the editors · 2 min readViolet and lily of the valley open with a cool, powdery floral character that feels crisp and slightly green. Sage introduces a dry, aromatic herbal quality that cuts through the floral softness with a clean edge. Vetiver grounds the composition with its earthy, woody texture, providing a dry and slightly rooty counterpoint to the airy flowers. The scent remains relatively linear, with the powdery florals receding to reveal more of the herbal and woody base over time. Projection starts intimate and stays close to the skin, making it suitable for casual daytime wear in spring or fall. It maintains a subtle presence for several hours without significant evolution in character or intensity.
