By the editors · 2 min readMint and violet leaf impart a crisp, cool green opening sharpened by bergamot’s citrus tang, creating an aromatic and invigorating first impression. Lavender and cardamom introduce a fresh-spicy heart that feels both clean and subtly piquant, while iris and cashmeran add a soft, powdery texture that smooths the composition. The base of sandalwood, vetiver, cedar, amber, and musk builds a dry, woody foundation with a hint of warmth and skin-sensitivity. Sillage remains moderate throughout, projecting a professional, composed aura that recedes to an intimate trail over four to five hours. Ideal for office wear or formal occasions in cool to warm weather, this scent maintains a linear, refined character from top to base. Its blend of aromatic, powdery, and woody elements feels versatile and thoughtfully balanced.
