By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit slashes first, tart and slightly bitter, its citrus oil streaking across cool basil leaf and a tart black-currant bud that keeps the fruit from turning sweet. Freesia steps in within minutes, adding a watery green floral lift that lets iris powder drift in quietly, softening the edges without adding weight. The heart stays bright: the florals never cream out, instead they hover while vetiver and tarragon keep a leafy crackle alive. Sandalwood and patchouli arrive late, dry and clean, musk stretching them into a pale woody skin scent that still carries a ghost of grapefruit rind. Projection sits close from the start; it’s a post-shower veil rather than a trail, happiest in warm weather and office-casual settings where subtlety reads as polish.
