By the editors · 2 min readApple and bergamot introduce a crisp fruity-citrus opening that feels bright and slightly tart. Gardenia, jasmine, and lily form a creamy white floral heart that blooms warmly on skin. Sandalwood and vanilla provide a soft woody-sweet base, while patchouli adds earthy depth and musk lends subtle diffusion. The scent evolves from fruity freshness to a floral-woody drydown over four hours. Projection remains intimate, lasting about five hours, ideal for spring and summer casual wear.
