By the editors · 2 min readGardenia opens creamy and waxen, its tropical heft pinned by sharper lily and peppery freesia. Ylang-ylang folds a banana-like custard into the heart, while rose keeps the white bouquet from turning sugary. Jasmine intensifies the humid facet, but plum and peach add dark, slightly tart flesh that drags the florals toward bruised fruit skin. Iris arrives early, dusting the petals with cool violet powder; tonka softens patchouli’s earth into a toasted almond sweetness that lingers on clothes. Projection stays within arm’s length for six hours, tilting feminine and plush for cool spring evenings or polished daytime work.
