Notes Pyramid
Scent Journey
The first half hour is bright and fruity-citrus. Wild strawberry and blood grapefruit are the most noticeable notes, with violet leaf adding a green, slightly earthy freshness. The opening feels sparkling and juicy, but it is not sharp or loud.
As the citrus and strawberry soften, the heart becomes more floral and powdery. Violet is prominent, with gardenia and jasmine rounding out the white-floral side. The ozonic and aquatic accords keep the composition airy.
The drydown is a soft vanilla-musk-wood blend. White wood and musk create a clean, close-wearing finish, while vanilla leaves a light sweetness on skin. The fragrance does not project strongly at this stage.
