By the editors · 2 min readCardamom opens with its warm-spicy aromatic lift, immediately softened by bergamot's bright citrus freshness. Peach and freesia introduce a lush fruity-floral heart that feels juicy and slightly powdery from violet's texture. Rose adds a classic floral depth that bridges the fruity top to the woody base. Sandalwood provides a creamy woody foundation while patchouli contributes an earthy, slightly musky undertone. Musk extends the dry-down with a clean skin-like quality that lingers close. The scent evolves from spicy-citrus to a soft fruity floral and settles into a warm woody-musky trail. Projection remains moderate for three hours before retreating intimately, best suited for spring evenings and casual dates in cool weather.
