By the editors · 2 min readLemon and bergamot open with a bright, slightly tart citrus sparkle that quickly folds into a creamy heart where jasmine's indolic radiance meets the powdery almond facet of heliotrope. Iris adds a cool, violet-tinged chalkiness that keeps the blackberry from reading too jammy, turning the fruit into a muted purple tint rather than overt sweetness. As the base settles, sandalwood's dry cream anchors vanilla's soft custard richness while oakmoss supplies a muted forest-floor bitterness that reins in the sugar. Opoponax contributes a translucent, honey-toned resin that melds with patchouli's cocoa-earth nuance, extending the later stages into a skin-close, musky haze with a faint leather undertow. Projection stays within arm's length for six hours, making it office-friendly yet quietly sensual through cooler spring and early fall days.
