Notes Pyramid
Scent Journey
The first 0-30 minutes are dominated by a bright, slightly tart blueberry note paired with a zesty mandarin orange. The fruitiness is upfront and synthetic but pleasant, reminiscent of a berry-scented shampoo.
After about an hour, the heart emerges with a soft violet and rose blend, supported by a faint jasmine. The floral accord is powdery and light, with the violet taking center stage. The fruitiness recedes but remains present.
From 4+ hours onward, the base of sandalwood, musk, and white woods becomes barely perceptible. The scent fades to a clean, slightly musky skin scent before disappearing entirely. Most users report the fragrance is gone within 2-3 hours.
