By the editors · 2 min readViolet leaf opens cool and metallic, slicing through ylang-ylang's creamy sweetness while galbanum pushes a sharp, snapped-stem green that dominates the first ten minutes. The heart swaps blunt green for cool powder as iris and lily-of-the-valley mute the ylang-ylang, letting a restrained rose add gentle rounded petals rather than obvious fruit. Vanilla and heliotrope arrive early in the dry-down, folding the remaining florals into a soft almond-skin accord dusted with clean white musk; sandalwood stays background, supplying just enough blond wood to keep the base from turning outright confectionery. Projection stays close, wafting no farther than shirt-collar distance; it reads smartest in spring office air-conditioning, where its crisp green veil can survive without heat turning it sugary.
