Scent Journey
The opening is a burst of bright, zesty citruses—lemon and bergamot—that immediately awaken the senses. It's sharp and refreshing, like a splash of cold water on a warm day.
As the citrus fades, the heart reveals a delicate green tea accord. It's not overly sweet or floral; instead, it's a true-to-life tea note with a slight astringency, evoking the sensation of sipping matcha in a tranquil garden.
The base emerges as a soft, woody embrace. The woodsy notes are subtle and clean, providing a gentle foundation that lingers close to the skin. The overall effect is a serene, meditative finish.
