By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain snaps open with a bitter-green flash that quickly sweetens as lemon and bergamot add juicy, sun-warmed zest. The heart folds in orange blossom, its honeyed creaminess softening the citric edge while cedar supplies a dry, pencil-shave wood that keeps the white floral from turning sugary. Patchouli anchors the base, lending an earthy cocoa tint that darkens the woods and extends the orange-blosson glow without adding heft. On skin the citrus retreats within twenty minutes, leaving a clean, woody-orange aura that stays close-close yet surprisingly persistent through a workday. Projection sits at arm’s length for two hours, then becomes a skin-whisper perfect for office or humid summer mornings.
