By the editors · 2 min readBergamot provides a crisp citrus opening that quickly gives way to a floral heart. Raspberry adds a subtle fruity sweetness while jasmine and orange blossom contribute a rich floral complexity. Violet lends a powdery texture that blends with the floral notes elegantly. Sandalwood and cedar form a woody base with oakmoss adding a classic chypre-like earthiness. Labdanum and vanilla provide amber warmth while musk and ambergris deepen the dry-down. The composition evolves significantly from bright to deeply resinous and woody. Projection is strong and lasting, suited for formal evenings and cooler seasons.
