By the editors · 2 min readLime, lemon, and bergamot deliver a tart citrus opening that feels sharp and slightly green. Black pepper introduces a fresh-spicy edge that amplifies the citrus without sweetness. Ylang-ylang provides a creamy floral heart that softens the pepper and adds a tropical undertone. Patchouli anchors the base with an earthy, slightly musky dryness that contrasts the bright top notes. The composition remains relatively linear, focusing on the contrast between citrus sharpness and earthy depth. Projection is moderate initially, settling to an intimate skin scent within two hours, suitable for casual warm-weather wear with four to seven hours of longevity.
