By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is unmistakably aldehydic-green: lemon and bergamot lifted by lavender's aromatic camphor and the sap-bitter cut of galbanum. The effect is bright, slightly soapy, and sharply structured.
The heart is a classical white-and-purple bouquet — lily of the valley, orange blossom, violet, rose — held in a powdery, almost floor-wax register. The violet is dry and candy-adjacent, the rose dusty rather than dewy.
The drydown turns mossy and resinous, with sandalwood, vetiver, and patchouli forming a damp, slightly earthy floor under a soft vanilla glow. The overall character reads as a powdery green-floral with chypre architecture: composed, formal, and cool-toned, pitched for cooler-weather daytime wear.
