By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit snaps open with a bitter-green edge, ivy lending a crushed-leaf bite that keeps the citrus from turning sugary. Lily of the valley steps in early, cool and aqueous, while iris powders the heart with a dry, violet-tinged starch that mutes the flowers’ sweetness. Cinnamon warms the base, not bakery-hot but a gentle wood-spice glow that lets sandalwood’s cream show through; amber stretches the accord, musk keeps it skin-close. The dry-down stays soft-woody rather than overtly oriental, projection polite enough for daytime wear yet persistent.
