By the editors · 2 min readNeroli opens bright and slightly bitter, its steam-distilled orange petitgrain edge sharpening the sweeter orange blossom absolute beneath. Bergamot adds a quick, sparkling lift that fades within minutes, letting the narcissus heart emerge with its hay-like, pollen-dusted character that keeps the white floral accord from turning creamy. Ambergris threads a salty, skin-warm mineral current through the mid-stage, softening the narcissus while vetiver injects a dry, rooty snap that stops any sugary drift. The dry-down is clean musk laid over faint marine ash; the flowers dissolve first, leaving a pale woody-salt trace that hugs close for hours. Projection stays polite, projecting no further than arm’s length; the structure feels linear after the first half-hour, making it an easy warm-weather work scent or post-gym refresher.
