By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens the composition with a sheer citrus brightness, brief and uncluttered — no aromatic herbs or spice to muddy the lift.
The heart turns immediately green and woody-fresh: bamboo's wet-cut stem quality propped against the lingering citrus, with very little floral or fruit interruption. This middle is the perfume's signature beat — a quiet vegetal coolness that reads minimalist and meditative.
Tonka bean and cedar close the drydown with a warm, slightly sweet woody finish that softens the green opening's coolness. The tonka-cedar pairing creates a gentle hay-like undertone in the last stage. Overall a transparent, restrained green-woody composition that hugs the skin and leans toward warm-weather casual wear with quiet confidence.
