By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain, basil, and nutmeg open the composition with an aromatic-spicy lift — petitgrain giving a bitter-orange green leaf, basil a clean herbal cool, nutmeg a soft warm-spicy roundness. The top reads structured and slightly unusual for a magnolia-led floral.
The heart is the centerpiece. Tuberose, magnolia, and rose form a layered floral middle — magnolia's lemony-fresh white-floral character meets tuberose's creamy heady body and rose's quiet roundness. Orange blossom and neroli (in general notes) thread through the bouquet.
Virginia cedar and musk close it with a dry pencil-shaving wood and clean musk warmth that grounds the flowers without weighing them down. Overall: a polished spiced white-floral with quiet woody finish, moderate projection, decent longevity, and a versatile warm-weather character.
