By the editors · 2 min readOpens with creamy ylang-ylang and a peppery snap of cardamom, the nutmeg adding a dry warmth that keeps the florals from going syrupy. Bergamot lifts the edges briefly before retreating.
The heart turns rounder as jasmine and orange blossom pool against sandalwood, with iris pulling the whole arrangement toward something powdered and contained. It reads as a structured floral rather than a lush one.
The drydown is where the chypre bones show: oakmoss laid against labdanum and patchouli, dry and slightly bitter, the kind of finish that hugs skin closely and reads more textural than sweet. Overall character sits between a soft oriental and a polished mossy floral, restrained throughout.
