By the editors · 2 min readBergamot and orange splash a bright, slightly bitter citrus that sage immediately herbs, while violet adds a cool, powdery facet that softens the opening sparkle. Peony and rose bloom together, the rose lending a faintly spiced petal depth that iris powders into a clean, makeup-like haze, keeping the heart airy rather than lush. Vetiver drags earthy smoke through the late dry-down, its rooty edge sharpened by amber’s dry resin and musk’s skin-close warmth, so the scent ends crisp and faintly wooded. Projection stays within arm’s length for six hours, making it office-safe yet noticeable. Spring-season versatile-layer, best under light jackets or rain.
