By the editors · 2 min readRaspberry, lemon, and bergamot create a bright fruity-citrus opening that is tangy and slightly sweet upon application. Orange blossom, violet, and rose form a floral heart that is powdery and romantic, with violet adding a candied purple floralcy. Orris contributes a rooty, earthy powderiness that deepens the floral accord and adds a cosmetic elegance. Tonka bean and sandalwood provide a warm, vanillic woody base that is smooth and slightly resinous on the dry-down. Musk adds a clean skin-scent quality that ensures the fragrance wears intimately and lasts moderately long. This evolving floral-oriental projects gently for 5-7 hours, suited for daytime wear in spring or fall.
