By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens with a bright, slightly bitter citrus edge that feels almost effervescent against skin. Ginger slices through the heart, lending a sharp, peppery heat that keeps the jasmine from blooming too sweet; instead, the flower stays pale and translucent, riding the spice like a cool breeze. As the top fizz subsides, amber and vanilla warm the base, but the musk stays light, so the dry-down remains sheer rather than syrupy, a clean skin-glow rather than dessert. Projection stays polite, a soft citrus-amber haze that lingers about arm’s length for five-to-six hours. It reads like effortless daytime cashmere: comfortable, quietly radiant, office-safe yet interesting enough for a coffee-run glance.
