By the editors · 2 min readFreesia and bergamot open soft and slightly powdery, the freesia leading bright-petaled and a touch peppery. The top reads gentle and unhurried, more like cracking a pressed-powder compact than spritzing a citrus cologne.
Jasmine, lily of the valley, and violet form the middle as a quiet floral chord. Lily of the valley brings its dewy, watery whiteness, jasmine a faint creamy warmth, violet a candied cosmetic register. The bouquet feels modest and gracefully sized rather than projecting.
Tonka, sandalwood, mysore sandalwood, amber, and musk close the composition with a creamy woody-amber base — the sandalwoods adding milky depth, tonka and amber leaning warm and slightly sweet. A soft floral-woody, intimate and well-mannered throughout.
