By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain crackles first, its green-citrus twig snapping against ylang-ylang's banana-cream heft while orange adds juicy lift. Vetiver muscles into the heart, drying the florals with cool, rooty smoke and turning the composition grassy-woody rather than tropical. Ambergris washes the base with sun-warmed salt, letting tonka drip soft almond warmth over a dark, wine-plum skin that keeps the sweetness restrained. As the hours pass the plum folds into the vetiver, creating a faintly leathery, earthy hum that hovers just above skin. Projection stays polite, a one-foot halo perfect for office air-conditioning or humid spring evenings when you want green depth without loud flowers.
