By the editors · 2 min readLemon and bergamot open with a brisk, sunlit snap that feels like chilled zest on skin. The heart slips in jammy blackberry riding over cool violet leaf, turning the citrus brightness into a dusky, bruised-fruit hush. Leather arrives early, powdery iris lending a suede-like softness so the fruit never turns sugary, instead settling into a muted, ink-dark dryness. Within two hours the violet folds into the leather, producing a muted purple-grey accord that sits close to the body, projecting no farther than a whispered secret. Quiet complexity makes it office-safe under spring blazers or cool summer nights when you want polish without announcement.
