The first spray reveals a burst of juicy fruits, primarily watermelon and peach, with a green freshness from bergamot and green notes. The plum adds a slight tartness. Brazilian rosewood introduces a subtle woody nuance that grounds the opening.

As the top notes fade, the heart blooms with a bouquet of white florals: freesia, lily-of-the-valley, and jasmine, supported by the powdery softness of violet and cyclamen. The orchid adds a creamy, exotic touch. The rose lends a classic floralcy.

3
Drydown 4+ hrs

The base reveals a warm, comforting blend of musk, vanilla, and sandalwood, with cedar and vetiver adding a woody foundation. Amber adds a soft, resinous glow. The drydown is clean and slightly sweet, lingering on the skin for hours.
