By the editors · 2 min readNeroli, lime, and anise open with an unusual top combination — bright bittersweet citrus crossed with the licorice sweetness of anise. The opening reads almost cocktail-like, fresh and slightly herbal at the same time.
Jasmine and patchouli share the heart in a tight pairing. The jasmine stays soft and white, the patchouli adds an earthy purple shadow underneath, and together they pull the composition toward a green-floral register with a slight smoky edge from the patchouli.
Vanilla and heliotrope close the base in a sweet almond-tinged finish that ties back to the anise opening. The drydown is a soft sweet-floral over a faintly powdery wood, projecting close and lasting moderately. A casual everyday composition with a gentle gourmand undertone.
