By the editors · 2 min readLime snaps open with a tart, almost candied edge that quickly folds into creamy tuberose, its rubbery petals amplified by magnolia's lemony wax. Violet lands next, adding a cool, iris-like powder that mutes the tropical white blast and steers the heart away from full-blown sweetness. Madagascar vanilla arrives early in the dry-down, wrapping sandalwood in a soft, custardy sheath while still letting the wood's dry milk seep through. The result is a sun-lotion effect: citrus flash, creamy florals, then a mellow vanilla-wood skin tint that lingers closer than arm's length. Projection stays intimate; best for warm spring days or vacation casual wear.
