By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens cleanly with a mild citrus brightness that avoids sourness and sets a light, airy tone. There is nothing aggressive in the first impression — it reads as quietly fresh.
Magnolia, lily of the valley, and rose form a soft white-floral heart. The magnolia contributes a faint creamy quality, the lily of the valley keeps things green and transparent, and the rose stays restrained rather than full-bodied. None of the three flowers compete for prominence.
Sandalwood and musk bring the composition down gently into a clean, skin-close drydown. This wears as an unpretentious, accessible floral suitable for warm days and everyday situations.
