By the editors · 2 min readOrange and bergamot open with a bright, slightly sweet citrus — clean and cheerful rather than zesty. The opening reads classical and immediately suggests a feminine floral to follow.
The heart is a yellow-floral trio: jasmine, ylang, and rose. Jasmine adds indolic creaminess, ylang waxy banana warmth, rose a polished jammy lift. The middle is the longest phase, holding for hours with the florals layered closely without one dominating.
Musk alone forms the base. The drydown is clean, slightly powdery, and skin-close — the florals persist on a quiet musk pillow without any wood or spice to complicate them. The composition reads classically vintage-coded, polished and feminine with moderate projection. A simple structure executed for sustained floral presence.
