By the editors · 2 min readAn orange-blossom-led composition. Petitgrain and bergamot start it cool and slightly bitter — that twiggy citrus snap before the flowers arrive.
Neroli and orange blossom take the heart together, and they're meant to be the centerpiece. Neroli reads green and a touch indolic; orange blossom adds sunlit warmth and honeyed sweetness. Together they fill the composition with a steady, golden floralcy.
The drydown is white musk, vetiver, and amber — a soft, slightly woody close that holds the warmth without weighing it down. A warm-weather fragrance for spring and summer, equally suited to casual wear and quiet office days.
