Opens with a brief grapefruit and blackcurrant brightness that clears quickly, making way for the real agenda: a dense, luminous floral heart built from jasmine, tuberose, and ylang-ylang, softened just enough by rose to avoid going heady. The florals stay close to the skin rather than radiating outward, giving it moderate sillage and a restrained, polished projection. The dry-down settles into creamy sandalwood and clean musk, smooth and unhurried. Nothing surprising, but the execution is precise and uncluttered — a white floral done with control rather than drama. — Warm-weather office wear and daytime occasions for someone who wants a confident floral without spectacle.
