By the editors · 2 min readNeroli opens bright and soapy, its orange-bloss edge slicing through bergamot’s lemony sparkle while rose petals soften the citric snap with a faintly powdery blush. Heart-phase sandalwood steps in quickly, its creamy blond wood folding lavender’s cool, camphorous stalk into a smooth woody-aromatic cushion that quiets the top’s effervescence. Benzoin and styrax dominate the dry-down, laying down a honeyed, resin-suede sheet that clings close to skin and keeps the earlier florals hovering like pale ghosts rather than letting them vanish. Projection stays courteous, a skin-to-arm’s-length veil that feels most comfortable under crisp shirts or wool during cool autumn days.
