By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain offers a crisp, green-citrus opening that quickly melds into a warm, resinous heart of benzoin and amber. Vanilla and tonka bean create a sweet, creamy base that is grounded by the dry, woody texture of sandalwood. Musk adds a soft, skin-like quality that enhances the intimacy of the dry-down, which remains close and subtle. The scent evolves slowly, retaining a balanced sweet-woody character with minimal projection beyond arm's length. Ideal for cooler weather and indoor occasions, it wears comfortably for several hours as a personal comfort scent.
