By the editors · 2 min readBlackberry and bergamot create a fruity-citrus opening that is bright and slightly tart upon first spray. Ylang-ylang and heliotrope introduce a creamy, powdery floral heart that softens the initial fruitiness. Plum and vanilla in the base add a deep, sweet richness that blends with cedar's dry woodiness. White musk provides a clean, skin-like foundation that keeps the composition from becoming too heavy. The scent evolves moderately, shifting from fruity top to a powdery-sweet dry-down over two hours. Projection is intimate from the start, staying close to the skin with minimal sillage expansion. Longevity spans five to seven hours, making it suitable for daytime wear in spring or fall. Occasions range from casual to semi-formal, especially in mild weather.
