By the editors · 2 min readApple and bergamot open with a crisp, juicy fruitiness that carries a bright citrus lift on initial application. This fruity-citrus accord quickly softens as a white floral heart of jasmine and ylang-ylang emerges, lending a creamy and slightly tropical floral character to the mid-development. Sandalwood provides a smooth, woody foundation that integrates seamlessly with the warm, resinous amber and sweet vanilla in the base. A clean musk underpins the entire structure, ensuring the dry-down remains soft and skin-close without becoming overly sweet. Projection starts moderately but settles into an intimate aura within two hours, offering good longevity for daytime wear in spring or summer. Best suited for casual and work occasions in warm weather, it maintains a linear fruity-floral character with a comforting woody-amber dry-down.
