Scent Journey
A vibrant, sparkling citrus medley. The bergamot and lemon are at their most vivid, with petitgrain adding a green, slightly woody nuance. The overall effect is refreshing and energizing—a perfect way to freshen a room or prepare your bed for the night. The alcohol base evaporates quickly, leaving behind a pure, unadulterated citrus bouquet.
The citrus recedes, making way for the floral heart. Orange blossom and neroli bloom, their honeyed sweetness tempered by a lingering green freshness. The scent becomes softer, more intimate, yet still present. On fabrics, this stage can last for hours, gradually transitioning. The orange blossom is particularly prominent, its creamy texture enveloping the senses.
The white musk emerges, creating a clean, powdery finish. On skin, the fragrance may fade within 2-4 hours, but on linens, it can linger for days. The drydown is comforting and serene, like the feeling of slipping into freshly scented sheets. The musk does not alter the character of the fragrance; rather, it extends and softens it, ensuring a gentle, lasting impression.

Moderate; noticeable in the immediate area, with the strongest presence on textiles.
