By the editors · 2 min readBergamot flashes bright and citrus-like, then folds immediately into a plush rose accord that dominates the composition from first spray to final skin. Gardenia, peony and freesia bulk the heart into a velvety pink-white bouquet, softening the citrus snap while letting the clove-spiked pink pepper in the base glow gently beneath. After twenty minutes the spices rise, dusting the petals with a dry, papery heat that keeps the flower from turning syrupy; the rose stays central, now darker and slightly honeyed. Sillage hovers at arm’s length for about five hours before collapsing to a skin-print of warm petals and spice. Cool autumn days, office through dinner.
