By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens with a brief, polished citrus brightness, more grooming-gesture than statement, before the bouquet quickly takes over. The opening reads classic and well-mannered.
Tuberose dominates the heart, narcotic and creamy, with jasmine and ylang-ylang thickening the white-floral chord and ylang adding a banana-tinged lushness. Lily of the valley and violet bring a dewy, slightly powdered counterpoint that keeps the heaviness in check, while rose rounds out the bouquet. The overall middle reads as an unapologetic floral statement. Sandalwood, amber, and musk anchor the drydown with a creamy-warm base and a soft musk haze that holds the florals close. The character is a traditional plush feminine floral, soft-edged but emphatic in volume.
