This isn't just a perfume; it's a mood. An understated, airy iris number that's surprisingly divisive given its gentle nature. Some find it beautiful and persistent, others a fleeting 'meh'.

Top, heart and base are the brand's own listing, not a timing claim - the industry classifies a note by its character as much as by how fast it fades. Each curve here is modelled from that material's own volatility, so groups can overlap when a house lists long-lasting materials in its heart.

About

Opens with a bright, zesty burst of bergamot and mandarin, quickly softening into a cool, almost melancholic iris heart. A unique angelica note adds a touch of green bitterness before settling into a clean, transparent base of light musk and a hint of sweet amber. It's subtle, airy, and feels more expensive than it is.
