Duftblüten

By the editors · 2 min readGardenia and magnolia bloom together in a creamy white-floral opening that feels simultaneously cool and buttery, the gardenia lending its waxy green edges while magnolia adds a faint lemony sweetness. Osmanthus enters quickly, its apricot-leather nuance threading through the petals and pulling the bouquet away from shampoo territory. Patchouli arrives dry and crumbly, scattering cocoa-brown earth across the flowers rather than smothering them, so the heart retains light and motion. Oakmoss then carpets the base with a cool, bitter verdancy that sharpens the incense resins; frankincense smokes quietly while a quieter myrrh-like incense glows, creating a grey-green haze that lasts. The drydown is floral-mossy first, smoky second, staying close to skin yet persistent for eight hours. Projection remains polite, a skin-to-shirt-radius veil ideal for spring office days or cool summer evenings when you want white petals without syrup.
