By the editors · 2 min readLavender opens cool and soap-clean, edged with bergamot’s brief citrus sparkle that quickly folds into the heart. Ylang-ylang delivers a custard-like creaminess that cushions lily-of-the-valley’s watery green and the faintly waxen lift of freesia, while rose keeps the bouquet rounded rather than sharp. Sandalwood in the base stays light, adding a dry, milky wood that muffles the flowers and maintains the freshly-shaved talc impression from top to bottom. Wear is close and stays polite, projecting only a soft, clean haze for the first two hours before settling into skin-scented linen. Office-safe and gym-locker friendly, it shines in spring and early summer when you want the smell of ironed shirts rather than statement perfume.
