Scent Journey

1
Opening 0-30 min

The first 0-30 minutes are dominated by a crisp, juicy pear and tart red berry accord. The fruitiness is bright and slightly sweet, with no harsh synthetic edges. The freshness is immediate, evoking a just-washed, clean sensation.

2
Heart 1-2 hrs

After about an hour, the rose emerges as the heart of the fragrance. It is a soft, powdery rose, not overly floral or indolic, blending seamlessly with the lingering fruit. The cedar wood begins to hint at a dry, woody foundation.

3
Drydown 4+ hrs

Four hours in, the cedar wood becomes more prominent, grounding the scent with a subtle, clean woodiness. The rose and fruit fade to a whisper, leaving a faintly powdery, woody trail that is barely perceptible after six hours.
