By the editors · 2 min readBergamot and cardamom open with a citrus-spicy brightness, quickly met by violet's powdery floral character. Jasmine adds a white floral warmth that blends into guaiac wood's smoky, dry woodiness. Myrrh provides a resinous balsamic depth, while musk anchors the base with a soft skin-scent quality. The scent evolves from bright and spicy to a smoky, woody-powdery dry-down over three hours. Projection is moderate initially, receding to an intimate trail that lasts through the day. This versatile composition works across seasons, suitable for work or casual wear in varied weather conditions.
