By the editors · 2 min readOrange blossom opens bright and soapy, its waxy petals dusted with bergamot's sharp citrus oil that scours any sweetness away. Jasmine arrives quickly, its indolic lift folding into mimosa's fluffy yellow pollen to create a fuzzy, pollen-cloud heart that still feels shower-fresh. After twenty minutes tonka bean's warm almond facet couples with vanilla to sweeten the musk, while iris powder keeps the base dry and lipstick-clean rather than dessert-rich. Sandalwood steers the dry-down toward skin-scented cream, letting amber glow softly underneath without turning resinous or heavy. Projection stays polite, a whispered white floral veil perfect for office mornings or humid summer days when stronger scents would cloy.
