By the editors · 2 min readMint and sage create a brisk, herbal opening that is quickly brightened by sharp lime and bergamot citrus. Ginger adds a fresh-spicy warmth in the heart, complementing the aromatic top notes without overwhelming them. Iris and violet provide a soft, powdery floralcy that tempers the initial sharpness and adds texture. The base is a dry, woody blend of sandalwood and guaiac wood, grounded by clean musk and a subtle amber warmth. This scent transitions from a crisp aromatic to a soft, powdery-woody dry-down over two hours. It projects moderately at first but becomes skin-close, suited for casual daytime wear in spring or fall.
