By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit provides a bright and tart citrus opening, immediately refreshing and slightly bitter. Cardamom adds a soft-spicy warmth that complements the citrus without overpowering it. Magnolia introduces a creamy floral heart, offering a smooth and slightly sweet contrast to the top notes. Vetiver grounds the composition with its dry, earthy woody character, providing structure and depth. The scent remains relatively linear, maintaining a fresh and aromatic profile throughout its wear. Projection is moderate and longevity is average, best suited for warm weather casual or daytime use. Its simplicity makes it versatile for spring and summer occasions.
