By the editors · 2 min readMelon and bergamot open with a watery-green crispness that feels like chilled cucumber rind, the freesia adding a faintly soapy lift. Gardenia soon swells, its creamy petals cushioned by iris’s cool carrot-root dust, while May rose lends a faint honeyed glow that keeps the bouquet from turning chalky. Tonka and vanilla warm the base, but ambergris cuts through with a salty skin-slick, so the dry-down stays luminous rather than sugary; sandalwood supplies a whisper of dry wood that lingers close to the body. Projection stays polite, a personal aura for office or spring brunch, yet the musk-ambergris tail survives eight hours on fabric. Overall a sunlit, slightly aquatic white-floral melded with iris powder and gentle marine salt.
