By the editors · 2 min readBergamot provides a fresh citrus opening that is bright and slightly aromatic, quickly fading into the floral heart. Jasmine and peony create a soft white-floral accord that is delicate and slightly sweet, while iris adds a powdery, earthy quality that is both elegant and grounded. The base of white musk and vetiver offers a clean, musky dry-down with a subtle woody undertone. The composition remains relatively linear, with the powdery iris character dominating the mid to late stages. Sillage is intimate from the start, projecting only within personal space. Longevity is moderate, lasting around six hours. Suitable for spring and summer daytime wear.
