By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens cleanly before ylang-ylang and jasmine pull the composition toward a dense, tropical-floral center. Violet softens the ylang's heady edge, preventing the heart from tipping into excess.
Styrax enters gradually, lending a rubbery, balsamic weight that grounds the florals without smothering them. Amber fills in beneath, pulling warmth into the base, while musk keeps the drydown close and skin-like.
The result is a floral-amber with genuine tension — the bright citrus opening and the resinous base anchor a heart that could otherwise feel cloying. Wears closer to the skin as it dries, suited to cooler weather and quiet evenings.
