By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit and bergamot open with a tart citrus burst, and ivy adds a green leafy bite that pushes the composition toward something garden-fresh rather than purely zesty. The opening is crisp and a little watery in feel.
Jasmine in the heart is restrained — a soft floral whisper rather than a heady centerpiece — and it bridges between the green-citrus top and the warmer base without taking over. The transition feels gentle and well-paced.
Cedar and amber form the drydown, with musk smoothing the finish. The overall character is a fresh-aromatic citrus-floral built on a soft woody base — daytime in mood, easy in projection, with the green-citrus impression carrying further than the warm base elements.
