By the editors · 2 min readFreesia opens cool and dewy, its green-tinged petals catching bergamot's crisp citrus edge in the first breath. Gardenia and orange blossom surge forward, their creamy white-floral weight pushing the freesia into background shimmer while iris powders the entire heart with a chalky violet hush that keeps the bouquet from turning syrupy. Rose adds a faint spicy lift, more stem than bloom, letting the gardenia stay star-shaped through the middle phase. Benzoin folds into sandalwood after two hours, creating a soft ambered haze that blurs the white petals without erasing them; musk stays low, a skin-warmed cotton rather than animal growl. Projection sits at conversational arm-length for four hours, then collapses to a quiet woody-powdery skin veil that lasts office-day solid.
