Thebes Grade 1

By the editors · 2 min readLily of the valley snaps open with green-white bells chilled by bergamot, a cool prelude that frames the Bulgarian rose that soon muscles in. That rose, dense and honeyed, is joined by jasmine and iris, the trio forming a plush floral cushion that muffles the early green sparkle while musk begins to warm the edges. Ambergris and vetiver arrive late, the former adding salt-sea lift that keeps the rose from sagging, the latter supplying a quiet earthy stalk that steadies the bloom. The dry-down stays rose-forward yet sheer, a skin-breathing satin rather than a velvet drape, with low hums of salt and leaf prolonging wear. Projection sits at arm’s length for six hours, ideal for spring office or summer dusk when you want floral presence without announcement.
