By the editors · 2 min readBergamot provides a crisp citrus opening that quickly gives way to a lush floral heart. Gardenia, ylang-ylang, orange blossom, and rose create a complex white-floral bouquet with creamy and slightly indolic facets. Violet adds a powdery texture that softens the floral intensity and bridges to the base. Vanilla brings a sweet warmth that blends with clove's soft-spicy accent and musk's skin-like quality. The dry-down becomes a soft, powdery floral with sweet and spicy undertones that linger close to the skin. This evolving composition offers good longevity and moderate sillage, suitable for evening wear in cooler weather.
