J-Scent Shaft of Light is an Eau de Parfum launched in 2018. Shaft of Light opens with Bergamot, Lemon, Grapefruit, and Orange Blossom, settles into a heart of Rose, Jasmine, Magnolia, and Lily Of The Valley, and dries down to a base of Musk, Amber, Sandalwood, and Patchouli. J-Scent's Shaft of Light carries a Favourite verdict, a citrus-led wear.

This is a clean, bright citrus floral that's either a ray of sunshine or glorified dish soap, depending on who you ask. If you're after a subtle, uplifting scent for quiet moments, this will hit the mark, but don't expect it to scream for attention.

About

Shaft of Light bursts open with a sparkling, energetic cocktail of lemon, grapefruit, bergamot, and orange blossom, reminiscent of freshly squeezed citrus. As it settles, a clean, dewy garden emerges with delicate lily of the valley, jasmine, and magnolia, underpinned by a soft rose. The dry down offers a gentle, musky warmth from sandalwood, amber, and a faint echo of vanilla, grounded by a touch of earthy patchouli and oakmoss.
