By the editors · 2 min readApple snaps open crisp and slightly tart, quickly dusted by cool lavender that mutes the fruit’s sweetness into something more aromatic. Bergamot adds a thin metallic edge, sharpening the transition into a heart where jasmine pushes a clean white-floral radiance while violet keeps the texture soft and powdery rather than lush. The woods arrive early: guaiac brings a wispy smoked pencil-shaving facet that rides quietly under the florals, then patchouli steps forward with a dry cocoa-earth tone that swallows most of the remaining fruit. Vanilla blooms late, rounding the woods with a mellow custard warmth but never turning the scent fully gourmand; instead it hovers just enough to soften patchouli’s rough edges. Projection stays at arm’s length for about five hours, making it office-friendly yet still noticeable during an after-work café stop.
