By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain and bergamot introduce a crisp, aromatic citrus opening that feels bright and slightly green from basil and lavender. A powdery floral heart soon develops where heliotrope and iris blend with earthy patchouli and dry vetiver, adding depth and a vintage sensibility. The base reveals a complex resinous character from labdanum and opoponax, smoothed by vanilla and tonka bean sweetness and grounded by moss and musk. This composition evolves significantly over four hours, moving from aromatic freshness to a warm, powdery-woody dry-down. Sillage is moderate initially but becomes more intimate after two hours, with longevity extending beyond eight hours. Ideal for formal occasions in cool weather, particularly fall and winter.
