By the editors · 2 min readNeroli and bergamot provide a bright, slightly bitter citrus-aromatic opening that feels crisp and clean upon first spray. Violet and rose introduce a powdery floral heart that is both romantic and slightly retro, with a soft, cosmetic quality. Anise adds a subtle licorice-like soft-spicy nuance that weaves through the florals without dominating them. The base is grounded by earthy vetiver and creamy sandalwood, which offer a dry, woody foundation that persists through the dry-down. Mandarin contributes a faint fruity sweetness that lightens the overall composition, making it feel more approachable. This fragrance remains relatively linear after the top notes fade, projecting as a intimate skin scent with moderate longevity. Its classic floral-woody character suits formal or evening wear in cooler weather.
