By the editors · 2 min readYlang-ylang and bergamot create a lush, citrus-edged floral opening that is both tropical and bright. Jasmine and clove form a spicy floral heart where rose adds a classic depth against warm spice. Vetiver and opoponax provide an earthy balsamic base deepened by patchouli's dry woody character. The dry-down becomes a resinous skin scent with persistent floral and spicy undertones. Projection is moderate throughout, lasting about six hours with a close-to-skin trail. Suitable for spring and fall, it works for both casual and formal occasions in warm to cool weather.
