About

A crisp, bright opening of bergamot and orange immediately sets a clean, uplifting tone. This quickly mellows into a heart of lush white florals, with lily, gardenia, and camellia creating a smooth, powdery bouquet that feels both radiant and refined. The dry down is a gentle caress of soft sandalwood and musk, providing a comforting, skin-like finish that lingers subtly.
