By the editors · 2 min readOpens with lemon, grapefruit and bergamot in a clean citrus burst, the grapefruit slightly bitter and the bergamot rounding the edge. The first impression is bright, lifted and almost soapy clean.
In the heart, violet leaf cuts a cool, metallic green path before magnolia arrives. The magnolia reads fresh and watery rather than narcotic despite the name, sitting between citrus and a quiet white floral. The pairing keeps things aerated.
White musk, sandalwood and oakmoss soften the drydown into a clean musky-mossy finish. Sandalwood is restrained, and oakmoss adds enough earthiness to keep it from going strictly soapy. Projection is light and the trail short, polite and close.
