By the editors · 2 min readStar anise snaps open with liquorice-black sharpness, bergamot flashing citrus peel quickly behind it. The heart blooms into a creamy white-floral sandwich: magnolia’s cool wax, jasmine’s indolic pollen and lily-of-the-valley’s watery green edge layered so the indoles stay polite, never sugary. Vetiver anchors the base in dry grass smoke, while vanilla warms the stalks and musk shears off any lingering sweetness, turning the composition matte and skin-close. After ninety minutes the flowers fold into the vetiver, leaving a soft wood-lactone shadow that hovers near the body rather than projects. Quiet complexity makes it office-safe yet quietly exotic; spring and cool summer days fit best.
