Scent
The scent opens with a vibrant citrus burst of lemon and bergamot, intertwined with aromatic herbs like basil and rosemary, creating an immediate fresh and crisp impression. As it evolves, a soft floral heart of jasmine and rose emerges, balanced by spicy coriander and earthy patchouli. The base is anchored by woody vetiver, oakmoss, and subtle musk, leaving a refined, sophisticated trail that is both clean and warm.
Season and wear
Best suited for spring and summer, when its fresh citrus and herbal notes shine in warm weather. Ideal for daytime wear, outdoor activities, and casual settings, though its elegance allows for year-round use.
Sillage and longevity
Moderate sillage, projecting a refined presence without being overpowering. It creates a pleasant scent bubble that is noticeable up close, gradually becoming more intimate as it settles. Expected to last approximately 4 to 6 hours on skin, though this can vary with skin type and environment. It offers a balanced longevity suitable for daily wear, requiring reapplication for extended evenings.
Perfumer and bottle
