By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit opens with a sharp, refreshing citrus tang that feels bright and slightly tart. Gardenia emerges quickly, offering a creamy, tropical white floral heart with a lush, almost lactonic richness. Sandalwood and vanilla in the base provide a warm, creamy woodiness that smooths the floral sharpness into a soft dry-down. The scent projects moderately for five to six hours, evolving from citrusy to floral-creamy. Best for warm weather daytime wear, it balances citrus freshness with floral warmth.
