Our take

Bergamot, Amalfi lemon and orange lead immediately, bright and sharp. Neroli and lavender soften the citrus without dimming it, while rosemary adds a green, slightly resinous edge. The opening feels clean and direct, with no heavy sweetness or rounded warmth yet in sight.

Rose, jasmine and orange blossom form a white floral heart that stays light on the skin. The flowers do not turn soapy or dense. Musk and amber begin to show in the background, giving the middle a faint powdery cast that keeps the florals from floating entirely on their own.

Patchouli and sandalwood settle in last, adding a dry woody base that grounds the whole composition. The result suits warm air and open windows, sunlight on a balcony, a table set outside after a morning walk. It is a clear glass of water with a slice of lemon floating at the surface.
