By the editors · 2 min readLime slices through the opening with a tart, almost bitter edge that quickly gathers lily of the valley’s cool, green bell-like sparkle and bergamot’s faint peppery lift. The heart folds in orange blossom, its waxy honeyed facet softening the citrus sting and linking the green top to a creamy wood base. Sandalwood and guaiac wood arrive together, sandalwood supplying a milky, lactonic cushion while guaiac adds a faint smoked tea nuance that keeps the composition from turning sugary. Musk sheaths the woods in clean skin, stretching the white-flower heart so the scent stays luminous rather than earthy. Wear feels like chilled linen on hot skin: bright, polite, quietly woody. Projection stays arm-length for five hours, then relaxes to a whisper of musked sandalwood perfect for office or humid weekend errands.
