By the editors · 2 min readPear and fig create a mildly sweet, ripe fruity opening that feels fresh and slightly green rather than sugary or tropical. Bergamot adds a faint citrus lift that keeps the top notes bright and prevents them from becoming cloying. Lavender and sage bring an aromatic, herbal quality to the heart, blending with moss to introduce a dry, earthy undertone. The base is warm and woody, with sandalwood and vetiver supported by an amber accord that adds resinous depth without sweetness. This scent remains moderately linear after the first hour, focusing on a fruity-aromatic-woody blend. Projection is modest and settles close to the skin within two hours, lasting about five hours. Suitable for casual or office wear in spring and fall.
