By the editors · 2 min readNeroli and grapefruit create a bright, slightly bitter citrus opening that quickly lets ylang-ylang's creamy banana facet take center stage. The heart layers two jasmines with rose, producing a lush white-floral accord whose indolic edges are trimmed by styrax's leathery incense touch. Vetiver appears early and persists, its earthy rootiness threading through the flowers and drying them toward a muted green tobacco tone. Amber and vanilla warm the base without turning sweet, while double-dosed musk blankets the composition in clean skin proximity rather than loud projection. The scent stays close after two hours, projecting roughly arm-length through a workday before settling into a soft woody-musk skin scent. Spring and early fall suit its balance of citrus lift and floral creaminess best.
