By the editors · 2 min readNeroli opens with a bright, slightly honeyed citrus edge that feels more floral than fizzy, immediately joined by bergamot’s dry, peppery sparkle. Petitgrain keeps that green-twig facet alive into the heart, while lavender pours on a clean, almost chilly camphor that mutes any sweetness. Rosemary adds a silvery, pine-like lift, yet clove dominates, pushing warm, metallic spice right through the bouquet, turning the accord into something both medicinal and barbershop. Benzoin lands in the base as a soft, vanilla-tinged resin that smooths the cloves’ bite and stitches the herbs into a powdery, skin-close haze. Projection stays polite, hovering just inside personal space for five hours, making it ideal for office or crisp spring mornings when you want history without statement volume.
