Scent Journey

1
Opening 0-30 min

The fragrance opens with an immediate and sharp citrus blast, dominated by grapefruit and bergamot. The 'Green Notes' provide a crisp, slightly herbaceous edge that prevents the fruitiness from becoming overly syrupy in the first 30 minutes.

2
Heart 1-2 hrs

As the citrus recedes, the heart reveals a prominent peach note supported by a clean jasmine. The geranium adds a metallic, rosy freshness that maintains the fragrance's 'unisex' balance, while patchouli provides an early hint of earthiness.

3
Drydown 4+ hrs

After four hours, the scent settles into a creamy, woody base. Sandalwood and vanilla create a smooth texture, though the musk remains the primary driver, ensuring the clean, 'out-of-the-shower' sensation persists through the end of the wear.
