Patchouli · Vetiver
A burst of lime, mandarin orange, and bergamot ignites the opening, creating an immediate sensation of brightness and joy. The citrus arrangement feels clean and sophisticated, inviting you into a moment of pure refinement.
The composition evolves into a verdant heart of fresh basil, delicate iris, lilac, orris, and thyme. Here, the fragrance reveals its aromatic soul—herbaceous yet refined, grounding the initial citrus brightness with an intimate, garden-like sensibility that whispers rather than shouts.
Vetiver and patchouli anchor the base, providing subtle earthiness and depth. The result is a soft personal halo that lingers for 6–8 hours, noticeable without overwhelming. Perfect for warm weather and transitional seasons, this fragrance embodies elegant restraint.
