By the editors · 2 min readBergamot snaps open with a cool, slightly bitter citrus edge that immediately frames the composition as clean rather than sugared. Magnolia steps in early, its creamy lemon-tinged petals softening the opening and creating a smooth white-floral bridge into the fruit layer. Raspberry and lychee fuse underneath, giving a tart red-berry juiciness that keeps the heart bright and prevents magnolia from turning too velvety. The dry-down stays close to skin, a quiet musky wood that holds the berry residue without adding sweetness or amber heaviness. Projection remains polite, hovering just outside personal space for about four hours before folding into a sheer veil. Motion reads like a crisp white cotton shirt splashed with iced fruit tea, built for warm-weather office days or post-gym refreshment rather than evening drama.
