Our take

Green Tea and Mandarin Orange open the composition with a brisk, slightly bitter citrus that feels more like a cool morning than a sunny afternoon. Tuberose and Jasmine follow quickly, heavy and creamy, pushing the lighter top notes aside. The Orange Blossom adds a clean, almost soapy edge to the white florals, keeping the heart from becoming too dense. Black Iris anchors the drydown with a powdery, slightly earthy presence that feels deliberate and steady. Musk and Vanilla round out the base, but the vanilla stays quiet, letting the iris lead the final stage.

The florals carry a confident weight that stays present through a long day without needing a second application. The scent announces itself clearly in a room without overwhelming the air. Composed by Carlos Benaïm, this fragrance suits someone who likes a white floral that feels grounded and composed rather than bright and fleeting. It works best in spring and autumn, during the day or for an evening event where a classic floral presence feels appropriate.
