By the editors · 2 min readA green, almost vegetal opening: basil sliced against bright lemon, with a soft fuzz of peach giving the top a rounded, cool-skin feel. The first minutes read crisp and slightly bitter, very much in the chypre-floral idiom.
The heart blooms into jasmine and rose, threaded with the dewy transparency of lily of the valley. Aldehydic shimmer lifts the florals so they feel airy rather than heavy, while oakmoss begins quietly underneath. As the base develops, civet adds a warm animalic hum and cedar-musk presses everything into a soft, slightly powdered bouquet that hugs the skin.
Overall the character is mossy-floral and grown-up, projecting with controlled warmth before settling into a quiet, slightly skin-musky drydown.
