By the editors · 2 min readNeroli and lime open with a bright, sharp citrus burst that is quickly warmed by a soft cardamom spice. The floral heart emerges as lily of the valley provides a green, dewy freshness while rose adds a subtle, classic floralcy. This green floral character transitions smoothly into a dry, earthy base where oakmoss and patchouli create a classic chypre structure. A clean musk underpins the entire composition, ensuring the dry-down remains polished and close to the skin. Projection is moderate initially, settling to an intimate aura that lasts for several hours. This scent is best suited for spring and fall wear in casual or work settings.
