Bergamot and rose open together, the rose already prominent rather than budding through later — bright pink-petal over a soft citrus shimmer.

By the editors · 2 min readBergamot and rose open together, the rose already prominent rather than budding through later — bright pink-petal over a soft citrus shimmer. The first minutes establish a romantic, slightly retro mood.
Violet and caramel run the heart. Violet adds a powdered, slightly candied dust, while caramel lends a soft cooked-sugar warmth that doesn't tip into full dessert. The combination reads like rose-violet pastilles, vintage in a comforting rather than dated way.
Guaiac wood and vanilla close it out warm and slightly smoky, with musk softening the late hours. The guaiac brings just enough dryness to keep the whole thing from collapsing into pure sweetness. A cool-weather floral-gourmand, evening-leaning, plush without being aggressive.
