By the editors · 2 min readNeroli and bergamot open clean and slightly green — neroli adds a soft white-floral edge, bergamot the polish. The opening reads classical, signaling the floral chorus to come.
Jasmine, ylang, and rose form the heart. The trio is dense and creamy: jasmine indolic, ylang waxy-warm, rose jammy. No spice or fruit complicates the picture — the middle is purely floral with a slight powdery feel.
Sandalwood, vanilla, heliotrope, patchouli, and musk make the base. The drydown turns powdery-creamy: heliotrope adds almond, vanilla a soft sweetness, sandalwood and patchouli the wood-earth grounding. A vintage-coded floral-oriental with sustained sillage and a soft almond-vanilla finish.
