By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens this one cleanly and without gimmickry — bright, slightly bitter, a citrus that reads less as fruit than as a kind of light. Magnolia and neroli arrive almost on top of it, the two whites layering for a soft-edged floral effect that's more dewy than indolic.
Cedar in the base keeps the whole thing structured. It's a dry wood, pencil-shaving rather than aromatic, and it stops the florals from drifting too sweet. The result reads as a fresh white floral with a clean wooden floor — appropriate for warmer days, low-stakes wear, and people who want something pretty that doesn't ask for attention.
