My Little Garden
Basil and neroli form an unusual opening: the basil is green and herbal without tipping culinary, and the neroli brings a bittersweet citrus-floral quality that softens rather than sharpens the herb.

By the editors · 2 min readBasil and neroli form an unusual opening: the basil is green and herbal without tipping culinary, and the neroli brings a bittersweet citrus-floral quality that softens rather than sharpens the herb. Together they read as garden-first — live plants in morning light rather than cut flowers arranged in a vase. The impression is specific and a little interesting for its category.
Jasmine and lily of the valley maintain the green-floral register in the heart; the valley note is soft and slightly dewy rather than powdery. Sandalwood, cedar, and musk close simply, providing a clean woody base that doesn't compete with the garden character above. A well-assembled spring outdoor fragrance — best worn in warm daylight.
