By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens the composition briefly — bright, classical, gone within the first few minutes. The heart is an English white-floral bouquet where lily of the valley leads: green, dewy, cool, unsweetened. Jasmine supplies indolic warmth and ylang-ylang a tropical softness, while a discreet rose rounds the edges. This is a soliflore in the old style, polite and composed, with none of the gourmand leanings that characterize modern florals.
The base keeps the character intact — sandalwood adds creamy wood, oakmoss gives the fragrance its quiet chypre bones. Longevity is modest in the pre-high-concentration tradition; it reads as daytime wear for warm weather, a garden walk or a morning commute.
