By the editors · 2 min readYlang-ylang and orange open with a sweet, slightly banana-like floral-citrus top that is bright but not sharp. Iris immediately introduces a powdery, rooty texture that blends with the heart of jasmine and rose, creating a soft, romantic floral bouquet. The base is a simple blend of creamy sandalwood and clean musk, which provides a warm, skin-like foundation for the powdery florals. This scent evolves linearly, maintaining its powdery floral character from top to base without significant shifts. Projection is moderate initially but becomes skin-close within two hours, with longevity around four to six hours. It suits formal or date occasions in cool weather, where its intimate, classic floral character shines.
