By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit bursts forth with a sharp, zesty citrus that is both refreshing and slightly bitter, creating an energetic opening. Ylang-ylang soon follows, imparting a creamy, tropical floral character that softens the citrus edge and adds a voluptuous richness. The heart transitions smoothly into a base where Madagascar vanilla and tonka bean deliver a warm, sweet, and slightly coumarinic creaminess. Sandalwood provides a soft, creamy-woody foundation that supports the sweet florals without overwhelming them. This composition remains relatively linear, projecting moderately for the first hour before settling into a gentle, sweet skin scent. Longevity reaches five to six hours, making it a pleasant choice for daytime in warmer weather.
