By the editors · 2 min readLily of the valley opens green and aqueous, its bell-shaped petals releasing a cool, almost soapy sweetness that feels like morning dew on cut stems. Ylang-ylang swells quickly underneath, adding a custard-like creaminess that softens the green edge while pushing the composition toward a plush, tropical heart. Sandalwood arrives early in the dry-down, its milky wood binding the white florals into a single, suede-soft accord while cedar shaves off any excess cream with dry pencil-shaving precision. Oakmoss quietly steadies the base, giving the lingering wood-floral skin scent a faintly bitter, rain-on-boulders undertone that keeps the fragrance from turning shampoo-sweet. Projection stays within arm’s length for most of its six-hour life, making it an easy reach for spring office days or weekend brunches when you want clean without soap.
