By the editors · 2 min readOrange blossom leads with a soapy, honeyed glow that feels instantly solar. Jasmine and yang-ylang arrive within minutes, folding creamy indoles and banana-sweet lactones around the initial white glare, turning the accord plush and slightly oily. Galbanum’s bitter stem-green snap waits underneath, sharpening the tropical florals and preventing them from sagging into custard; the contrast keeps the scent upright and cool. Wear time shows a slow fade to a clean musk shadow where the green resin is the last survivor, faint but persistent. Projection stays polite, a forearm-length aura that works for office days or warm spring weekends.
