Intention
Fragrance notes
Character
A sunlit terrace stretches over a quiet city street, the air warm and clear. A glass of champagne rests on the table beside a plate of sliced kumquat. The opening of Intention carries that exact brightness, the citrus sharp and clean against the soft bitterness of neroli. A faint trace of martini lingers in the air, not loud but present, giving the entrance a refined edge that feels suited to a slow morning outdoors.
Tea rose steps forward without delay, its petals damp from a recent watering. Peony and white orchid fan out around it, keeping the floral heart open and airy. Litchi adds a gentle tropical weight, though it stays in the background rather than dominating the scene. The flowers do not compete here. They rest together in a balanced arrangement that feels intentional and composed.
Sandalwood and mahogany arrive to ground the moment. The wood is smooth and dry, while amber lends a faint golden warmth that never becomes heavy. Musk sits low, holding the other elements in place without drawing attention to itself. The overall impression is polished and elegant, a composition that moves gracefully between fresh air and shaded wood.
The powdery accord sits thick across the surface, muting the crisp citrus and softening the rose until the edges blur. It creates a gentle haze that some will find comforting, but it also hides the finer details that make the opening so appealing. For those who prefer a fragrance with clear definition and visible structure, this blurred finish may feel like a compromise.
