By the editors · 2 min readBlood orange leads the opening — sweeter and slightly redder than standard orange, with grapefruit and bergamot adding bitter-bright lift around it. The citrus cluster reads juicy and luminous from the first spray.
The heart turns into honey and rose with orange blossom rounding the edges. Honey gives a sticky golden warmth that sits unusually with cooler orange blossom; rose threads through, more jammy than green. The composition feels sun-soaked and slightly hedonistic.
The base is just cedar and nutmeg — cedar providing dry-wood structure, nutmeg threading warm spice that ties honey to wood. Overall character is a sweet citrus-honey-floral with a quiet woody close, projecting moderately, reading bright with adult depth.
