By the editors · 2 min readGalbanum slashes open with bitter-green sap, its sharp resinous edge framed by bergamot’s brief citrus sparkle. Ylang-ylang and lily-of-the-valley cool the heat, their clean white petals dusted with iris’s cool carrot-root starch and a restrained rose that keeps the bouquet taut rather than lush. Sandalwood steams underneath, its creamy wood warmed by heliotrope’s faint marzipan haze while musk grips the composition close to skin, turning the earlier greens mildly earthy within an hour. The dry-down stays powdered and woody, a pale woody-musk whisper that recalls cold Paris stone after rain. Projection remains polite, ideal for office or spring museum days; longevity lingers around six hours, a quiet vintage silhouette.
