By the editors · 2 min readNeroli, lemon, and grapefruit create a bright citrus opening that is both zesty and slightly floral in character. Mint and thyme introduce a cool herbal accent that cuts through the sweetness of rose, peony, and mimosa in the heart. Benzoin and caramel blend with vanilla and brown sugar in the base, producing a warm, gourmand dry-down that feels creamy and resinous. Sandalwood adds a soft woody texture, while musk provides a skin-like finish. Projection is moderate but persistent, ideal for evening wear in fall or winter.
