By the editors · 2 min readA juicy, sunlit opening — pear and yuzu lifted by bergamot. The yuzu adds a green-citrus edge that keeps the pear from reading too soft; the result is bright but unsweet.
Gardenia leads the heart, surrounded by jasmine, ylang-ylang, and violet. The white florals stay in proportion — gardenia's creamy-mushroomy weight balanced by jasmine's narcotic sweetness and violet's powdery cool. It reads lush without tipping toward heavy.
The drydown is sandalwood, cedar, and musk — a clean woody finish that lets the florals exit gracefully. A warm-weather fragrance for spring and summer, comfortable in casual to evening contexts.
