About

Imagine a sun-drenched Mediterranean garden, freshly cut with vibrant citrus and a surprising, almost dewy greenness. This scent kicks off with zesty bergamot and lime, immediately followed by the unique, verdant tang of tomato leaf - a bold, almost savoury twist. As it settles, a floral neroli emerges, spiced up by cardamom and a zing of ginger, creating an invigorating heart. The dry down is warm and earthy, with cypriol and frankincense grounding the freshness, while ambroxan adds a modern, airy amber touch, lingering like a soft, sun-warmed breeze.
