By the editors · 2 min readYlang-ylang dominates the opening with its custardy banana facet, pulling bergamot into a creamy citrus sphere rather than sharp territory. The heart layers violet leaf’s raw-green crunch against clove’s medicinal heat, letting the spice pierce the floral custard while rose adds a soft pink blur that prevents the composition from turning savory. Sandalwood arrives early, its milk-fat texture merging with vanillin to form a continuous lactonic backbone that carries amber’s resinous glow and musk’s skin-warm diffusion through the dry-down. Projection stays within arm’s length for six hours, making it office-viable yet present enough for evening plans when temperatures drop below 22 °C.
