By the editors · 2 min readOpens with orange and narcissus together, the citrus lifting the floral while the narcissus brings its trademark green, slightly hay-like edge. The first impression is bright but rooted, with narcissus already declaring direction.
Lily of the valley in the heart smooths the narcissus into a more elegant, almost watery floral. The pairing reads cleaner than a solo narcissus, the lily diffusing the heavier, slightly animalic side. No real fruit carryover from the opening.
Sandalwood and amber in the base bring a soft warm grounding, the sandalwood creamy and the amber restrained. The drydown is powdery, slightly yellow-floral and quietly resinous. Projection is moderate, settling into a refined old-style green-floral skin scent.
