By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens the composition with a clean tart citrus brightness, brief and uncomplicated.
The heart sits in traditional feminine territory: lily of the valley's clean green-petal coolness and rose's powdered jam — a gentle floral chord that reads slightly retro. The lily-rose pairing here lacks the heady push of indolic florals, staying within a polite bouquet register.
The base brings a small twist with ylang-ylang's tropical creamy floral surfacing alongside amber's warm cushion and a touch of moss adding green-bitter chypre lining. The drydown softens into a quiet powdered amber-floral close. Overall a soft, conventional feminine structure with a moss-amber finish that gives the composition a slightly old-fashioned signature without leaning fully vintage.
