Bergamot opens things up cleanly before stepping aside almost immediately, letting heliotrope and almond take center stage in the heart — a powdery, almost confectionery pairing that reads warm and skin-close rather than sharp.

Projection is polite, longevity solid at six-plus hours. — Best in cold weather on someone who wants a crowd-pleasing, wearable signature that leans sweet without going full dessert.
