Tempete de Zeste
Fragrance notes
Character
Grapefruit arrives first in Tempete de Zeste, bright and slightly bitter, followed quickly by mandarin orange that smooths the edges. Black currant adds a small roundness to the opening without making it sweet. Basil sits underneath the citrus, giving the first minutes a clean, leafy edge that keeps the fruit from feeling like juice.
Cyclamen and freesia form a soft floral layer that does not demand attention. Iris brings a powdery touch that grounds the heart, making the transition from the top feel steady. The flowers here are light, more about texture than about a single dominant bloom.
Sandalwood enters early enough to walk alongside the heart notes, lending a creamy warmth that patchouli darkens just a little. The patchouli is earthy but restrained, supporting the wood rather than taking over. This balance means the scent stays near the skin while remaining present through a long morning.
A balcony in strong sunlight suits this fragrance, with a warm breeze moving through an open door and a table set for a late breakfast. The citrus and green notes feel at home in that air. Freesia and iris carry through the middle of the day, and the sandalwood keeps the finish from disappearing too soon as the light shifts across the room
