By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit and bergamot offer a bright, tart citrus opening with aromatic freshness. Basil and pink pepper introduce a green, fresh-spicy edge that complements the floral heart of jasmine, rose, and iris. Iris adds a powdery, rooty texture that contrasts with the fruity plum nuance. Oakmoss and vetiver provide an earthy, mossy base with patchouli's dark earthiness and cedar's dry wood. Vanilla softens the dry-down with a subtle sweetness that rounds out the composition. This evolves significantly from citrus-aromatic to a powdery-woody chypre structure with good projection. Best for formal occasions in spring or fall.
