Scent Journey
The first 0-30 minutes are a vibrant explosion of citrus. Bergamot and mandarin provide a sharp, juicy brightness, while verbena adds a lemony, herbaceous twist. This opening is crisp and invigorating, with a slight effervescence that feels like a sparkling spritz on a warm day. The green accord begins to emerge subtly, hinting at the heart to come.
As the fragrance transitions into its heart (1-2 hours), the citrus softens, allowing the floral and green notes to take center stage. Orange blossom and neroli introduce a sweet, slightly indolic floralcy, while geranium contributes a rosy, minty facet. The green accord becomes more pronounced, evoking freshly cut grass and crushed leaves. This phase is balanced and refined, with a gentle aromatic quality that is both soothing and sophisticated.
After 4 hours and beyond, the base notes assert themselves. Sandalwood provides a creamy, milky woodiness, while vetiver adds an earthy, smoky depth. Ambroxan imparts a clean, ambergris-like warmth, and musk wraps everything in a soft, skin-hugging embrace. The drydown is smooth and persistent, with the citrus and floral elements receding into a subtle memory, leaving a trail of woody-musky elegance that lasts for hours.
Performance Dashboard
Approximately 6 hours on skin, with a moderate to strong presence. The fragrance remains noticeable for the better part of a workday, though it may require a reapplication for evening events.
Strong projection, radiating about an arm's length for the first few hours. It settles to a more intimate aura after the mid-phase, making it suitable for both close encounters and open spaces.
Strong sillage, leaving a noticeable trail that projects confidently without being overwhelming. It commands attention in a room but does not suffocate.
