By the editors · 2 min readBasil dominates the opening, releasing a pepper-green snap that instantly cools ylang-ylang’s creamy sweetness and bergamot’s polite sparkle. Within minutes lily-of-the-valley steps forward, its rain-soaked stems amplifying the herbal chill while a restrained rose adds a faint powder that keeps the accord from turning medicinal. Guaiac wood arrives early, bringing a dry pencil-shaving smoke that steers the composition toward transparent woods, then vanilla melts the edges, turning the green-wood heart into a clean skin-scented veil. Musk shepherds the fade-out, extending the soft wood layer for several hours while maintaining the cool, slightly soapy aura created by the basil-lily axis. Projection stays office-close, forming a two-foot clean-green halo that feels shower-fresh rather than perfumed.
