Fragrance notes
Character
Bergamot and mandarin orange lead the opening with a bright citrus tone that feels immediate and clean. Nutmeg adds a gentle heat that keeps the start from leaning fully into sweetness. Cardamom and jasmine arrive soon after, with the jasmine giving a soft white floral character while the cardamom carries the spice forward. Orange sits between the top and heart, bridging the citrus and the floral elements without dominating either. The composition stays light on the surface, but the spices prevent it from feeling thin.
Patchouli and oakmoss form a base that is earthy and mossy, grounded rather than heavy. Amber brings a warm finish that rounds out the sharper edges of the citrus and the spice. The floral side remains present throughout, supported by the woodsy notes mentioned in the reference. The overall impression is a chypre floral that moves between citrus, fresh spicy, and woody accords with steady balance. It suits a bright room filled with morning light, where the air feels clear and the day is just beginning, like a garden path lined with stones and sun.
