Scent Journey
The first spray is a burst of sparkling citrus and fruity sweetness. Lemon and Bellini dominate initially, with Hibiscus adding a tart, slightly floral edge. It feels festive and refreshing, like a mimosa at brunch. The opening is bright and immediately likable, though it fades relatively quickly. On some skin, the citrus may last only fifteen to twenty minutes before the florals take over.
As the top notes recede, the yellow floral heart emerges. Ylang-Ylang and Orange Blossom are the most noticeable, with Jasmine adding a richer, slightly indolic undertone. The scent becomes creamier and more floral, though still light. The sweetness from the Bellini persists, giving the florals a nectar-like quality. At this stage, the fragrance feels like a tropical garden in full sun. It is pleasant and easy to wear, but it does not project far.
The base arrives softly. Musk and Amber create a warm, skin-like veil. Driftwood and Vetiver add a subtle woody, salty, earthy texture. The floral notes linger faintly, but the overall impression becomes a clean, musky-woody skin scent. Many users report that it becomes a skin scent within two to three hours, meaning it sits very close to the body. By the four-to-six-hour mark, it may be barely detectable unless you press your nose to your wrist. With two or three sprays, some users achieve around six hours of wear, but this is at the upper end of its performance.
