By the editors · 2 min readCitrus notes of orange, lemon, and grapefruit provide a bright, effervescent opening that quickly softens into floral heart. Jasmine and lily of the valley offer a clean white-floralcy, while heliotrope and violet introduce a powdery, slightly sweet texture. Labdanum and benzoin in the base create a warm, balsamic amber accord deepened by patchouli's earthy dryness and sandalwood's creaminess. The fragrance shifts from citrus-fresh to powdery-floral and finally to a resinous-woody dry-down with subtle animalic undertones. It projects moderately for several hours, evolving complexity through its wear. Best for spring and fall formal events in temperate weather.
