Fragrance notes
Character
Italian mandarin and lemon lead the way, joined by bergamot and orange in a bright citrus opening. Galbanum and hedione follow, adding a green and aromatic lift that keeps the top from feeling flat. Spanish labdanum, Moroccan mimosa, Virginia cedar, sandalwood, and amber form a woody, powdery, yellow floral base that settles in with warmth and a soft resinous touch.
The overall character is citrus, woody, amber, aromatic, green, powdery, floral, and marine at once. It feels polished and composed, leaning toward a refined feminine style that suits cooler air and layered clothing. Someone who enjoys a clear citrus start that moves into resin and wood will feel at home here. Those who want a sheer, breezy summer scent without depth or weight should look elsewhere.
It fits a morning walk when the pavement is damp and the air still carries a chill, or an evening out with a coat over a dress. The marine note adds a faint breeze through the resin and flower, so the warmth never turns heavy. It is a fragrance for someone who likes a polished citrus that grows woody and amber-rich as it develops.
Picture a sunlit courtyard in a stone city where orange trees line the walk and the air smells of citrus, resin, and cedar.
