By the editors · 2 min readAn aromatic green opening — fig leaf bright and milky-bitter, lifted by bergamot. The fig here is the leaf and stem, not the fruit, with that snapped-twig sap quality that reads cool rather than sweet.
The heart turns floral but stays understated: violet leaf carries the green forward, narcissus adds a hay-like bitterness, and rose softens the seams. The composition holds a deliberate astringency through the middle.
Amber settles the drydown into something warmer and resinous, but it never overtakes the green character. A transitional fragrance, suited to spring and early fall, comfortable on the office side of casual wear.
