By the editors · 2 min readLemon and bergamot open with a brisk citrus snap that quickly folds into a heart dominated by double-stacked jasmine and ylang-yang, their buttery sweetness amplified by lily of the valley and a touch of May rose. The white floral creaminess is cut by the green sharpness of lily, keeping the bouquet from turning cloying. As the flowers settle, twin layers of tonka bean warm the skin with soft almond-like coumarin while paired vetiver and sandalwood build a dry, woody floor. Oakmoss creeps in, dusting the woods with a cool, earthy fuzz that locks the composition in place for hours. Projection stays polite, hovering just beyond the wrist; the scent reads as tailored daytime wear for cool spring or early fall offices.
