By the editors · 2 min readBergamot provides a brief citrus lift before the heart takes over with a full floral chorus — gardenia, jasmine, lily of the valley, narcissus, iris, and May rose all contributing at once. The effect is dense and classic, leaning toward green-tinged white florals rather than anything fruity or sweet.
Ylang-ylang edges the base toward a faintly tropical richness, while clove adds a dry warmth that prevents the florals from turning soapy. Patchouli and musk anchor everything, giving the composition some earthy depth and lasting power.
The overall character is boldly floral with a slightly animalic, earthy undercurrent. It reads as formal and structured — a statement fragrance rather than an effortless everyday wear.
