By the editors · 2 min readGardenia and jasmine open with a lush white floral character, creamy and slightly indolic against a supporting rose. The floral heart remains dense and narcotic, avoiding excessive sweetness while retaining a natural petal texture. Sandalwood emerges gradually, its creamy woodiness tempering the floral intensity and adding a soft, skin-like warmth. Vetiver provides an earthy counterpoint that grounds the composition without overt greenness. Musk integrates seamlessly, enhancing the floral-woody dry-down with a clean, intimate trail. Projection stays moderate for the first hour before receding to a personal scent bubble. Best suited for spring evenings or formal occasions where its floral richness can unfold without overwhelming.
