By the editors · 2 min readBergamot and clary sage open with a crisp, aromatic freshness that feels both invigorating and slightly herbal. Lavender and star anise develop in the heart, adding a soft spicy-aniseed nuance to the aromatic lavender core without becoming overly sweet. Vetiver and patchouli provide an earthy, woody base that grounds the fragrance, while musk adds a clean, skin-friendly dryness to the dry-down. The scent evolves from a bright aromatic top to a more earthy, herbal base that remains fresh and wearable. Projection is moderate initially but becomes intimate within two hours, with longevity lasting a full workday. Best for daytime wear in warm or cool weather, particularly suited for casual or professional settings.
