By the editors · 2 min readBergamot provides a crisp, slightly tart citrus opening that feels refreshing and clear. A faint orange note in the heart adds a touch of fruity sweetness, bridging the top and base smoothly. Sandalwood offers a creamy, soft woody foundation that is complemented by the earthy dryness of patchouli. Tonka bean introduces a vanillic, coumarin-like sweetness that warms the dry-down significantly. The scent evolves from a bright citrus start to a warm, resinous-woody finish with moderate complexity. Longevity is around six hours with soft projection, making it appropriate for casual or evening wear in cooler weather.
