By the editors · 2 min readLemon and grapefruit open with a bright, slightly bitter sparkle that quickly folds into a cool lavender-iris heart. The lavender brings a camphorous edge that keeps the iris rooty rather than powdery, creating a steely grey floral accord. Sandalwood adds dry creaminess while ambergris lends a clean, salty skin musk that extends the iris without sweetness. Mid-stage stays close, a quiet veil of mineral iris that smells like rain on limestone. Projection is office-polite; longevity sits at skin level for most of a workday. Spring and early summer, smart-casual settings.
