By the editors · 2 min readA pale-green tea served with a bit of cold fruit on the side. Bergamot and mandarin open clean and slightly bitter, citrus at low volume rather than the usual cologne fanfare.
The heart is osmanthus and mandarin blossom, and this is where the perfume holds its quiet — osmanthus's apricot-leather sheen folded against a powdery white-flower softness. Nothing pushes outward; everything tilts toward calm.
The drydown is almost transparent: tea leaf and maté lend a dry, slightly hay-like greenness, white musk and cedar holding it in place rather than developing further. A spring or early-summer fragrance for daytime, more atmosphere than presence — easy on warm skin and easy to forget you are wearing.
