By the editors · 2 min readLime and peach open with a citrusy brightness that cardamom spices immediately, giving the opening a warm, slightly exotic edge rather than a clean citrus freshness. The transition happens quickly.
Ginger and rose form the heart — the ginger is dry and peppery, pushing the rose away from soft femininity into something more structured and slightly sharp. The pairing stays interesting without becoming harsh.
Cinnamon, iris, and sandalwood build a warm, powdery base. White musk lifts the whole thing slightly, while iris contributes a cool, rooty counterpoint to the cinnamon's heat. The overall character is a spiced floral with woody-powdery depth — warmer and drier than the peachy opening suggests.
