The opening arrives in a bright sweep of Italian lemon and bergamot, softened immediately by orange blossom and mandarin orange. It smells like peeling a piece of fruit while standing outside, the zest hitting the air before the first bite. The citrus feels vivid and immediate, cutting through the evening air without any sharp edges.
As the conversation continues, the scent shifts. Heliotrope and cinnamon rise from the heart, joined by cardamom and a trace of lily-of-the-valley.

The overall impression is aromatic and woody, a mix that feels composed rather than crowded.
