By the editors · 2 min readOpens with gardenia placed unusually in the top — creamy white-floral richness alongside lemon and bergamot. The combination produces a luminous floral-citrus opening with more weight than a typical cologne lift.
The heart pivots fruity and floral: melon and pear add cool watery sweetness while jasmine and peony layer petals over the fruit. The melon-pear pairing reads slightly aquatic, almost spa-like, and pulls the composition toward a transparent contemporary register.
Amber's warm cushion, violet's sugared dust, and musk close the drydown. The base reads as a soft powdery-amber finish with violet adding a slightly retro feminine signature. A polished fruity-floral with a clean watery middle and a quiet sweet close.
