Scent Journey
The first spray reveals a burst of tart, aromatic yuzu, reminiscent of grapefruit and mandarin with a green edge. It's bright and fleeting, setting the stage for the heart.
Within minutes, the fig emerges, offering a creamy, milky sweetness that is both fruity and green. The fig is not overly ripe; it has a fresh, almost coconut-like nuance, supported by a subtle grassy undertone.
The base of cypress provides a dry, woody, and slightly resinous foundation. It anchors the fig, adding a touch of Mediterranean herbaceousness. The overall drydown is soft, close to the skin, and retains a clean, woody-fruity character.
Performance Dashboard
3-4 hours on average, requiring reapplication for all-day wear.
Moderate, roughly 3-4 feet with generous application, but fades quickly.
Soft to moderate; it stays close to the skin, leaving a subtle trail.
