By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is a tart grapefruit lifted by petitgrain's bittersweet leaf-citrus snap, more crystalline than juicy.
Orange blossom and jasmine soften the heart with a clean, slightly green floral wash, while a faint indolic depth keeps the bouquet from feeling too pristine. The transition is quiet rather than dramatic, with the citrus persisting longer than expected.
Iris carries the drydown, dry and cool with a powdery rooty quality, lifted by a transparent amber and a clean musk. The overall character is luminous and restrained, more haze than statement, with a feminine-leaning brightness that suits warm afternoons and quiet rooms. Sillage stays close to the skin within an hour, and the iris-amber finish hums softly for several hours after.
