By the editors · 2 min readBergamot flashes crisp and tart, slicing the air for a brisk twenty minutes before the rose heart blooms into soft, powdery petals. The rose here is clean, almost soap-bright, cushioned by a tonka bean that adds a faint almond-coumarin sweetness rather than dense vanilla. Vetiver threads cool, grassy smoke through the blend, while patchouli lends a dry, earthy crumble that keeps the sweetness polite and uncloying. Over four hours the citrus sheen fades, leaving a skin-haze of rosy tonka dust lightly speckled with vetiver’s green ash. Projection stays within handshake distance; the scent feels best in spring office corridors or cool summer brunch tables where understatement reads as manners. Confidence is moderate because the pyramid is spare, yet the rose-patchouli pairing is textbook and behaves predictably.
