By the editors · 2 min readCardamom and bergamot open with a spiced citrus note that is bright and slightly medicinal at first, then softens quickly as violet emerges in the heart. The violet is full and powdery rather than sharp, giving the fragrance a distinctly feminine, slightly retro feel.
Vanilla and patchouli anchor the base in opposite directions — vanilla pulls toward sweetness, patchouli toward earth and darkness. The two balance each other without either fully taking over.
Musk ties everything together in the drydown, creating a warm, skin-close finish. The overall character is soft and approachable — a straightforward floral-oriental with enough patchouli edge to avoid being purely sweet.
