By the editors · 2 min readWith no top notes declared, the perfume reads as a heart-and-base study from the first sniff — gardenia leading, creamy and slightly green-rubbery in the way fresh gardenia tends to be. Magnolia adds a lemony-petal lift and ylang-ylang ribbons through with its banana-floral warmth.
Iris emerges underneath after a few minutes, cool and rooty, lending a powdery suede-like texture that grounds the bouquet. Virginia cedar dries the drydown into a clean pencil-shaving woodiness, keeping the white florals from going waxy.
Overall character: a luminous, slightly powdery white floral with a dry woody floor. Projection stays intimate, sillage soft — the kind of scent that reveals itself when someone leans in.
