By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens with a bright, slightly bitter sparkle that quickly folds into magnolia's creamy lemon-tinged petals. The heart amplifies white-flower luminosity as orange blossom adds a honeyed, faintly green edge, keeping the bouquet airy rather than plush. Tonka bean arrives early, lending soft almond-like sweetness that melds with amber resin to create a skin-hugging powdered caramel backdrop. Cedar cuts this mellowness with dry wood shavings, stopping the base from turning overly confectionary and extending the clean wood-floral character through the dry-down. Projection stays within arm's length for 5–6 hours, making it an easy daytime choice for warm spring offices or weekend brunches.
