By the editors · 2 min readBergamot delivers a sharp citrus opening that quickly recedes to reveal a green herbal basil core. Basil dominates the heart with its aromatic, slightly peppery character, creating a fresh-green accord. Patchouli emerges in the base, adding an earthy depth that contrasts with the brighter top notes. Benzoin contributes a soft balsamic sweetness, while musk provides a clean, skin-close finish. The composition remains relatively linear after the initial citrus fade, projecting intimately within personal space. Suitable for spring and fall, it works well for casual or work settings with longevity around five hours.
