By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is a bright citrus-floral burst — neroli, bergamot, and orange blossom alongside rose and jasmine, creating an airy, luminous top that reads both fresh and slightly powdery. Iris enters the heart, bringing a cool, rooty quality that sits alongside lily of the valley's green-white softness.
The base shifts the mood considerably. Tonka bean, vanilla, sandalwood, and amber build a warm, rounded cushion beneath the flowers, while cardamom adds just enough spice to keep things from feeling heavy. Patchouli and musk provide a subtle earthiness at the finish.
The result balances a bright floral opening with a warm, lightly spiced base — a structure that moves through distinct phases without losing cohesion.
