By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit and bergamot front a wash of orange and citrus zest, kept lively for a stretch before the heart turns floral. Ylang-ylang and orange blossom carry most of the body — bright, slightly creamy, with iris and rose as quieter framing.
The base is where the composition rounds off: tonka and vanilla bring a soft, powdery warmth, amber gives it weight, and a clean musk keeps the whole thing from going heavy. The arc moves from sparkling citrus to a sweet-floral oriental drydown without ever turning syrupy. A daytime register that holds enough warmth for cooler evenings.
