By the editors · 2 min readLemon and bergamot provide a sharp citrus opening that quickly gives way to neroli and orange blossom's floral heart. Violet adds a powdery texture that softens the white floral accord. The base introduces oakmoss's earthy greenness and ambergris's animalic warmth, while styrax and olibanum contribute resinous balsamic notes. Musk ensures the dry-down remains skin-close and persistent. This scent evolves from bright citrus to a complex floral-powdery accord with a mossy base. Longevity reaches eight hours with intimate sillage, making it ideal for spring formal occasions.
