Scent Journey
The opening is a bright, citrusy burst of bergamot, sharpened by a green, almost dewy quality. It's immediately refreshing, like a cool breeze on a spring morning. The narcissus begins to peek through within minutes, adding a subtle floral depth.
In the heart, narcissus takes center stage—a green, slightly powdery flower that's both earthy and elegant. Orange blossom adds a touch of sweetness, but it's restrained, never overpowering. The composition feels airy and translucent, with a soft, natural radiance.
As the fragrance settles, galbanum brings a resinous, green edge, while woody notes and musk provide a clean, skin-like base. The overall effect is a gentle, comforting trail that lingers close to the skin. It's a drydown that feels like a second skin, barely there but undeniably present.
Performance Dashboard
2-4 hours on skin, typical for an eau de cologne. Expect to reapply if you want it to last through a full day.
Low to moderate, with a projection that fades quickly. Best for close encounters and personal enjoyment.
Soft, intimate—this scent stays close to the wearer. It won't fill a room, but it will create a subtle aura.
