By the editors · 2 min readApple and black currant create a crisp, slightly tart fruity opening that is enlivened by bergamot's citrus sparkle. A bouquet of white florals quickly takes over, with gardenia and magnolia lending a creamy richness while jasmine and freesia add a lighter, airy quality. Lily of the valley introduces a green floral nuance that keeps the heart from becoming overly sweet or heavy. Sandalwood and amber form a warm, slightly resinous base that blends smoothly with vanilla's gentle sweetness. Patchouli adds an earthy depth that contrasts with the floral brightness, and musk ensures a soft skin adherence. Projection is moderate initially, settling close within two hours, suited for spring and fall daytime wear.
