By the editors · 2 min readLemon and bergamot start the perfume bright, sharper than expected for a floral. The transition is short — within a few minutes the heart settles into jasmine, rose, ylang, and lily, with the lily reading dewy and slightly green rather than funeral-cold.
The base is sparse on paper but soft in execution: vanilla and musk, doing little besides letting the florals stay in focus. There is no woody or chypre underpinning, which keeps the composition airy and uncomplicated.
Wears as a polished, unforced spring floral — close to skin after the first hour, more about cleanliness than seduction. Daytime, warm-weather, cheerful rather than romantic.
