By the editors · 2 min readLime opens with a tart, slightly bitter zest that feels more like pressed peel than sweet juice. Sage arrives quickly, adding a camphoraceous green bite that dries the citrus and steers the scent away from cola-like territory. Magnolia and freesia bloom together: the former lends a creamy, lemon-tinged petal weight, the latter a transparent, airy pollen sparkle, so the heart stays bright rather than plush. As the flowers relax, incense trickles in, cool and stony, its resinous smoke wrapping the petals in a grey veil while muting any remaining sweetness. Amber warms the base, turning the incense dry-leathery instead of churchy, and musk provides clean skin traction that keeps the composition hovering close rather than trailing. Projection stays office-polite for roughly five hours, with the lime-incense dialogue most noticeable in warm spring air.
