4-10 | Otome

A light yet quietly complex floral–aquatic–green eau de toilette. Airy bergamot and aquatic notes lead into a soft bouquet of tropical and classic florals, resting on subtly earthy woods and musk for an elusive, gender-flexible elegance.

Scent Development and Character

A delicately balanced floral–aquatic–green eau de toilette where tropical tiare and ylang-ylang brush against a transparent sea breeze and fresh lawn-like greens over a softly earthy woody base. Bergamot and aquatic notes open airy and sheer, a bouquet of jasmine, muguet, violet and rose blooms without becoming heady, and vetiver, oakmoss, incense, sandalwood and musk lend quiet soil-like depth so the accord stays light, modern and elusive rather than overtly sweet or beachy.

Who It Is For and When to Wear It

Suited to all genders and best for daytime, office, and relaxed social settings where a subtle, fresh presence is preferred. Its light floral–aquatic–green character works particularly well in mild to warm weather and can be reapplied for casual evening use without becoming overpowering. Best suited to spring and summer, with its light floral–aquatic–green accord also working well in mild early autumn; in cold winter conditions it may feel too sheer unless worn indoors. Sillage is Soft, close-to-the-body projection that creates a gentle aura rather than a prominent trail, staying discreet in shared spaces and becoming more noticeable only at conversational distance. Longevity is Light to moderate longevity for an eau de toilette: typically around half a day on skin, with the airy floral–aquatic accord noticeable for several hours before settling into a soft woody–musk trace.
