By the editors · 2 min readViolet opens cool and powdery, framing the bergamot citrus with a faintly metallic edge that reads almost like iced tea. Gardenia and jasmine arrive together, their creamy lactonic heft turning the violet into a plush yellow-floral cushion while iris keeps the texture matte and suede-like. Rose surfaces late, adding a faintly sour petal lift that stops the cream from cloying. Vanilla and sandalood fold in last, the wood lending a dry, milky grain that lets the vanilla read as pod rather than dessert, extending wear close to skin. Projection stays polite, a scent for spring office days or cool summer brunches rather than humid nights.
