What it smells like
The Scent File profile
Opens with a bright citrus burst — bergamot and mandarin cut with the green, slightly milky edge of fig and pear — that settles quickly into a soft floral heart where lily and jasmine take the lead, kept from being too sweet by a whisper of cardamom spice. The dry-down is understated: sandalwood and cedar give it a clean woody base with a musky skin finish. Projection is modest; sillage stays close. — Casual warm-weather wear for anyone who wants clean and feminine without demanding attention.
