By the editors · 2 min readPetitgrain and lemon open with a sharp, slightly bitter brightness that settles quickly, giving way to gardenia and jasmine at the heart. The white florals are clean rather than heady — gardenia brings a watery creaminess while jasmine stays restrained, never tipping into indolic territory.
Sandalwood and cedar provide a dry, pale wood foundation, while patchouli adds just enough earthiness to prevent the base from feeling too polished. Musk threads through, keeping the skin close. The overall effect is a tidy, well-lit floral with a woody backbone — approachable and unhurried, suited to warmer months without demanding attention.
