By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens with a crisp citrus freshness that is bright and slightly aromatic, setting a clean and invigorating tone from the start. Ylang-ylang follows with a creamy and slightly sweet floral character that adds a tropical floralcy without being overpowering. Tonka bean provides a warm, nutty sweetness in the base, complemented by basil's green herbal accent that introduces a fresh aromatic twist. The composition shifts from a citrus-aromatic opening to a warmer, softly sweet and herbal dry-down over three to four hours. Projection is moderate initially but becomes skin-close quickly, making it suitable for spring and summer wear in casual or outdoor settings.
