By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens with a clean, bright citrus that quickly softens into the heart's freesia and iris — freesia contributing a clean, slightly green white-floral quality and iris adding a powdery rootiness. The general list also names mandarin, which adds a slightly sweeter citrus note alongside bergamot in the early stages.
Sandalwood, amber, and musk provide a warm, creamy base — sandalwood and amber together creating a soft, resinous warmth that draws the floral heart into a smooth, powdery finish. Musk keeps the dry-down skin-close. A gentle floral-amber composition with good clarity — iris-forward in character, warm and understated in the base, well-suited to everyday wear.
