By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens cooler and brighter than the composition will end — a brief, lifted citrus before the heart turns floral with jasmine, iris and rose. The flowers feel more frame than focus; they're there to soften the hand-off from citrus to base.
The base is the entire point. Tonka and vanilla, combined here at extrait concentration, render dense and balsamic — sweet without being edible, smoky without smoke. Projection is firm in the first hours and the drydown sits on skin for a long time as a warm, slightly resinous sweetness. Cold-weather, evening register; small applications go a long way.
