By the editors · 2 min readAlmond and lemon meet in a milky citrus haze that feels like sunrise light rendered as scent. The opening’s creamy brightness is quickly folded into plush heliotrope and ylang-ylang; their powdered banana-peach facet muffles the citric sparkle and sets a soft, pastel tone. Osmanthus sneaks in a whisper of apricot skin, keeping the heart airy rather than syrupy while jasmine hovers like white steam above tea. Sandalwood and cedar arrive late, dry and blond, extending the almond’s mild sweetness into a skin-scented wood that lasts close but steady. Projection stays office-polite; best for warm spring mornings or cool summer dawns when you want quiet luminosity rather than statement.
