By the editors · 2 min readOrange and bergamot open bright over a hint of rose, giving a sparkling citrus-floral first impression. The rose stays subtle here, more an accent than a feature.
Jasmine and ylang-ylang carry the heart into denser white-floral territory, while apricot adds a fruity, slightly creamy sweetness underneath. The middle reads as a soft tropical-floral with a fruit-jam undertow.
Tonka bean, patchouli, and musk close the composition with a sweet-warm, faintly earthy drydown. The patchouli is recognisable but kept polished rather than dirty. Overall the arc is fruity-floral leaning sweet-amber, projection moderate, cool-weather and evening rotation friendly. Approachable, recognisable structure—party-ready rather than contemplative.
