Michelia 白兰花
Fragrance notes
Michelia and gardenia open this composition with a cool, dewy white floral that feels clean and slightly waxy. The michelia repeats in the heart alongside narcissus and jasmine, adding a yellow floral lift and a faint green edge. Narcissus brings a rounded, slightly honeyed weight that keeps the jasmine from feeling sharp. The lactonic accord sits quietly in the background, giving the petals a soft creaminess without turning the blend milky or heavy. Sandalwood and benzoin form a warm, resinous base that supports the florals rather than dominating them. White musk smooths the transition and leaves the drydown feeling calm and slightly powdery.
The overall impression is floral first, with the green and amber accents adding structure. It stays close to the skin in character and does not project a bold statement. The creaminess makes it approachable for daily wear, while the resinous base keeps it from reading as purely fresh. It suits someone who enjoys white and yellow florals that are balanced by wood and light amber. Those who dislike waxy petals or lactonic softness may find it less appealing. Composed by Carine Boin and launched in 2021, it captures a white floral accord anchored by sandalwood and benzoin.
