Scent Profile — What You'll Experience
Top Notes
Orange · Orange Blossom · Tea · Mandarin Orange
Heart Notes
Basil · Chamomile · Peony
Base Notes
Amber · Sandalwood
It begins with a luminous burst of bitter orange, clementine, and mandarin orange, tempered by the fresh clarity of green tea and ivy. Orange blossom and tea add a delicate brightness that feels both uplifting and grounded, like sunlight through a morning garden. The opening is crisp yet inviting, setting the stage for a composed, moderate projection that feels naturally refined.
The middle notes reveal a sophisticated heart: creamy basil unfolds alongside chamomile and peony, with a whisper of mandarin orange threading through. This floral-herbal accord builds warmth and depth, transforming the initial citrus energy into something more intimate and layered. The basil grounds the composition with subtle herbaceous confidence, while peony adds a soft, powdery elegance that lingers beautifully.
As the fragrance settles, sandalwood and amber emerge to anchor the composition, creating a warm, creamy dry-down that feels both sophisticated and approachable. The base sustains that moderate composed projection throughout, making this a versatile choice across all seasons—with peak performance in warmer months when its fresh-yet-creamy profile truly shines.
