By the editors · 2 min readA bouquet of jasmine, ylang-ylang, lily of the valley, and rose opens immediately at the heart, dense and creamy rather than fresh. Ylang-ylang gives the blend a banana-tinged, slightly tropical edge, while lily of the valley keeps things dewy.
The development is essentially one extended floral chord, with the white florals overlapping rather than evolving in stages. There's a soft indolic warmth in the background but nothing animalic pushes through. Virginia cedar and musk anchor the drydown with a dry, slightly pencil-shaving woodiness and a clean skin tone. The overall character is unabashedly floral and a little nostalgic, with the woods serving as a quiet frame rather than a competing voice.
