By the editors · 2 min readOrange, lemon, and bergamot open with a generous sparkling-citrus burst, the orange juicy and the lemon zesty in equal measure. The first impression is sun-bright and immediate, with no opacity or sweetness to dim it.
Petitgrain and neroli deepen the heart with a green-floral citrus warmth, lending the middle a quiet aromatic structure. There is a subtle bitterness from the petitgrain that keeps the scent from collapsing into juice.
The base is vetiver and ylang-ylang, the vetiver adding a clean rooty thread and the ylang-ylang lending a creamy yellow-floral whisper. The overall character is a polished cologne-style citrus with a quietly floral dryout, the kind of scent that smells like a sunlit garden in early summer, gently lasting.
