By the editors · 2 min readWhite freesia leads with a watery-green petal note that feels like snapped stems, crisp and lightly sweet. Woods arrive within minutes, turning the floral water into a dry cedar-pencil backdrop that keeps the freesia translucent rather than lush. Amber and patchouli settle underneath, but both stay sanitized: the patchouli is scrubbed of earth, giving only a clean cocoa woodiness, while the amber contributes a sheer, skin-warmed glow rather than resin. The result is a seamless, weightless accord that hovers close, shifting from dewy pear-like freshness to soft blond timber without ever becoming juicy or syrupy. Projection stays polite, a hushed office-friendly veil that folds into laundry-clean musks by hour four. Ideal for spring workdays or humid commutes when you want refreshment without fruit sweetness.
