By the editors · 2 min readTuberose explodes from the first breath, fleshy and waxy, pinned by bergamot’s terse snap. Within minutes jasmine joins, doubling the white-floral voltage while plum and peach pour a syrupy darkness that keeps the bouquet from turning soapy. Labdanum smokes quietly underneath, stretching the petals over a resinous canvas. Cinnamon arrives late, dusting the vanilla with dry heat so the base never cloys; musk shears off the edges, letting the flower stay crisp for hours. Projection carries a full arm’s length through the evening before it settles into a warm, peach-tinted skin trail. Cool fall nights and formal dinners let the big white trio roar without overheating.
