By the editors · 2 min readLemon opens with a bright, almost candied zest that quickly folds into a crisp green apple skin accord sharpened by gardenia’s creamy white petals. The heart’s gardenia steers the fruit away from candy territory, adding a faintly milky floral lift that keeps the apple translucent rather than syrupy. Cedar arrives early, drying the blend into clean wood shavings that mute the lemon’s sparkle and give the apple a matte, petal-like finish. White musk blankets the final hour, turning the scent into freshly laundered cotton with a ghost of tart fruit still clinging to the folds. Projection stays within arm’s length for about four hours, then settles to skin, making it an easy daytime choice for spring offices or weekend errands when you want something bright but unobtrusive.
