Our take

Bergamot opens the composition with a bright, citrus lift that feels immediate and clean. Freesia follows with a soft floral breath that never turns powdery or heavy. The base carries frankincense and labdanum, two resins that add warmth without weighing down the air around them.

Amber and woody accords sit alongside fresh spicy and aromatic facets, creating a profile that feels constructed rather than gathered. The citrus stays present while the resins build a gentle, golden depth underneath. It reads as a modern, composed take on a floral idea, balanced between fresh and warm.

A breeze moves through a sunlit courtyard where stone walls hold the day's heat, and the air carries a mix of peeled fruit, crushed stems, and dried resin left on a warm ledge.
