By the editors · 2 min readBergamot provides a bright citrus opening that is fresh and slightly aromatic, though quickly overshadowed by richer notes. Raspberry and jasmine form a fruity-floral heart that adds sweetness and a creamy floral depth to the composition. Violet contributes a powdery texture that blends with the floral and fruity elements, creating a soft contrast. The base is complex with sandalwood, birch, and labdanum offering woody, smoky, and amber-resinous qualities that dominate the dry-down. Myrrh, benzoin, and vanilla add balsamic sweetness, while musk and suede provide a soft animalic and leathery undertone. This fragrance evolves significantly from citrus to a rich, woody-amber finish with strong projection and longevity for formal occasions in cooler weather.
