By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is a bright citrus triptych—neroli, lemon, bergamot—softened almost immediately by the rounded sweetness of pear. It's neither sharp nor sugary, but somewhere in between, like biting into fruit still cool from the morning. Ylang-ylang weaves through the heart with its creamy, slightly narcotic warmth, pulling the composition away from pure freshness without tipping into heaviness.
As it settles, sandalwood and musk create a pale, skin-close base that feels more like a veil than a statement. The woods are quiet, almost translucent, allowing the earlier brightness to linger in memory rather than disappear entirely. This is fragrance as understatement—clean, composed, and comfortable in its restraint. It suits those who prefer their scent felt rather than announced.
