By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens with a bright, slightly bitter citrus edge that quickly lets rose take center stage, its petals rendered in a jammy, almost honeyed fullness. Ylang-ylang follows, adding a custard-like tropical creaminess that fattens the floral heart and softens any remaining sparkle. Sandalwood and amber then rise together, the wood supplying a milky, nutty smoothness while amber blankets everything in a resinous, slightly powdered caramel warmth. Cedar sharpens the base with dry pencil shavings, preventing cloying sweetness, and patchouli contributes a quiet earthiness that keeps the accord grounded through the long dry-down. Projection stays within arm’s length, making it office-friendly yet cozy; cool fall evenings and layered winter scarves show it best.
