By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit and bergamot open with a clean, slightly sweet brightness, cardamom adding a faint dry spice underneath. The citrus is crisp but brief, making room for the transition into warmer territory.
Lavender and orange blossom anchor the heart, honey lending a softly animalic sweetness that keeps the floral from reading as purely fresh. Musk blends through, carrying the composition forward without sharpening it.
Tonka bean, tobacco, and moss define the dry-down — the tonka softens the tobacco's edge into something rounded and lightly sweet, while the moss introduces a faint earthiness. Sandalwood and patchouli from the broader palette fill the base out with warmth and depth.
