By the editors · 2 min readSea Daffodil opens with mandarin and pink pepper — warm citrus with a dry, faintly metallic spice that reads as more sophisticated than a simple fruit opener. There's an energy to the combination, something coastal and wind-touched.
The heart introduces sea daffodil, a floral note from the narcissus family's crisper, more aquatic relatives, paired with ylang-ylang's creamy tropical warmth. The combination is unusual — sea air cut with something lush and almost tropical.
Sandalwood, vetiver, and vanilla ground the drydown into a warm, slightly earthy base that lingers quietly. Best worn in spring or early summer; the vetiver prevents it from reading as purely light, giving it enough gravity for transitional weather.
