By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens with a bright, zesty citrus that is refreshing and slightly green, providing an energetic start. Jasmine emerges in the heart, offering a floral richness that contrasts with the citrus, adding depth without heaviness. Labdanum and benzoin form a warm, resinous base that dominates the dry-down, with labdanum providing an amber-like richness and benzoin adding a vanillic sweetness. Patchouli contributes an earthy, slightly woody undertone that grounds the composition and adds complexity. The scent evolves from fresh citrus to warm resinous, with a noticeable shift in character over the first hour. Projection is moderate initially but becomes more intimate as it settles, lasting about seven to ten hours. Best for cooler weather and evening occasions, it offers a balanced blend of fresh and warm elements.
