Salt sprinkled over lotus petals sets a clear intention before anything else appears. This is a fragrance built for people who want the air to feel cooler and cleaner than the room they are standing in. The opening carries yellow water lily and chamomile across a watery surface, and the sedge keeps that surface textured rather than flat. It does not rush to impress.
