By the editors · 2 min readGrapefruit and bergamot create a bright, slightly bitter citrus flash that lasts minutes before ylang-ylang and orange blossom take over, flooding the heart with creamy, banana-like sweetness. Clove adds a dry, dusty heat that keeps the white petals from turning syrupy, while iris iris gives a cool, lipstick-powder sheen that makes the bouquet feel dressed-up rather than tropical. Rose arrives late, thin and sharp, slicing through the custardy ylang to pull the scent back toward classical floral. Vanilla and patchouli anchor everything in a soft, ambered cushion, musk blurring edges so the dry-down feels like warm skin still holding ghost petals. Projection stays polite, wafting a powdered floral haze for office or spring brunch; longevity stretches past eight hours, slowly folding into a vanillic skin musk.
