By the editors · 2 min readEnglish Rose leads with bergamot brightening a damask-rose center — clear, slightly tart, the kind of rose opening that reads as garden rather than perfumed.
Magnolia and peach round the heart into something fuller and slightly fruity, taking the edge off the rose without burying it. The composition stays soft and feminine, never thickening into jam.
Sandalwood, amber, and musk hold the drydown on warm-skin terms — close, powdery-clean, more diffuser than projector. It reads as a polite floral for daytime wear, neither vintage nor modern enough to feel marked, which is largely the point.
