By the editors · 2 min readLemon opens with a sharp, bright citrus burst that quickly settles into a floral heart. Tuberose and jasmine dominate the heart, creating a rich white floral accord with heliotrope adding a soft powdery texture. Violet and rose provide subtle floral depth beneath the creamy white flowers. Ginger and saffron introduce a warm spicy nuance that contrasts the floral sweetness, while vanilla and ambergris add a smooth resinous base. Patchouli and cedar ground the composition with earthy woody notes, and musk provides a clean skin-like dry-down. The scent evolves from citrus brightness to a complex floral oriental with moderate projection and all-day longevity, suited for evening wear in cooler seasons.
