Fragrance notes
Character
Aldehydes sparkle across the surface like frost on a windowpane. The opening feels crisp and bright, with Sicilian lemon and bergamot adding a sharp citrus edge that cuts through the air.
Iris and orris create a soft, powdery cloud that settles close to the skin. There is a vintage elegance here, reminiscent of old dressing tables and silk scarves, where white florals whisper rather than shout.
A walk through a snowy garden feels complete with this scent. The cold air makes the woody base of sandalwood and vetiver feel grounding, while a touch of oakmoss adds an earthy depth that pairs well with heavy wool coats and quiet evenings indoors.
The vanilla and amber provide a gentle warmth against the chill, though the civet adds a slightly animalic growl that keeps it from being too sweet. A woman who enjoys classic, complex compositions that feel like a formal occasion will find a faithful companion here.
