By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens with a bright, slightly bitter sparkle that frames the immediate rose presence. Damask rose dominates the top, its honeyed petals folding into rosewood’s pinkish timber and ylang-ylang’s banana-like cream, while iris adds cool, carrot-root dust to tame the floral sweetness. As the heart settles, tonka bean releases warm hay and marzipan facets, merging with amber to create a soft, diffusive glow that keeps vanilla from turning syrupy. Clean white musk sheathes the base, extending wear without adding weight and letting the almond facet of tonka read talcum-powder soft against skin. Projection stays close, creating a rosy, lightly powdered veil perfect for office or travel in mild weather. Expect six-to-eight-hour longevity with polite sillage that never shouts.
