By the editors · 2 min readBergamot and nutmeg open with a bright citrus sparkle underscored by a warm, spicy sharpness. Peony emerges as a fresh, slightly green floral heart that blends with the recurring bergamot for a crisp, aromatic quality. Lavender adds a herbal, slightly camphorous touch that provides structure, while vanilla and musk create a soft, sweet base with a cozy, skin-friendly warmth. The scent evolves from a spicy-citrus opening to a floral-herbal heart, then dries down to a sweet, musky trail with moderate projection. Best for casual daytime wear in spring or fall, especially in cool weather.
