By the editors · 2 min readBergamot lends a sharp citrus brightness that quickly recedes, making way for jasmine's floral richness and violet's powdery softness, creating a delicate yet persistent heart. Sandalwood offers a creamy woody base, while vetiver and patchouli introduce an earthy, slightly rooty depth that grounds the composition alongside musk's clean warmth. The scent transitions from a brief citrus sparkle to a powdery floral core, finally resting as an earthy skin-scent with minimal projection. It wears linearly after the first hour, ideal for cool weather and formal or work settings where subtlety is preferred.
