By the editors · 2 min readLemon and bergamot offer a crisp citrus opening that is refreshing but not overly sharp or acidic. Lavender introduces an aromatic herbal quality that blends smoothly with the creamy yellow floral character of ylang-ylang and mimosa. Sandalwood and vetiver provide a dry, woody base that grounds the fragrance with a clean, slightly earthy finish. Musk adds a soft skin-like texture that makes the dry-down feel intimate and wearable. The scent evolves from bright citrus-aromatic to a soft woody-musky veil over two to three hours. Projection is moderate initially but becomes skin-close fairly quickly, lasting about five to seven hours. It is well-suited for spring and summer daytime wear in warm conditions.
