By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain and bergamot open with a bright, slightly woody citrus that feels clean rather than sweet. Neroli carries that brightness into the heart, where Bulgarian rose adds depth and saffron introduces a dry, faintly metallic warmth without tipping into heavy oriental territory.
The base is where this fragrance settles into its character. Oakmoss and patchouli pull it toward chypre territory — earthy and rooty — while sandalwood softens the edges. Musk ties everything together at skin level.
Overall this reads as a floral chypre with spiced accents: rooted and green underneath, fresh-citrus on top, with the rose-saffron pairing giving the heart some texture. It leans cool and structured rather than warm or indulgent.
