By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain and lemon create a sharp, green citrus opening that cuts through early humidity. Magnolia, jasmine and ylang-ylang bloom together in the heart, their creamy white petals dusted with heliotrope's almond-like powder while peach skin and black-currant bud add a tart fruit edge. The base turns earthy and resinous: oakmoss and patchouli give a damp forest floor, labdanum and benzoin layer sweet amber, and a surprising roasted coffee note lingers with cedar shavings. Projection stays arm's-length for seven hours before the iris-laced dry-down settles closer to skin. Cool autumn evenings and early spring dinners let the moss-fruit tension shine.
