How it might smell

Opening with a fresh blend of bergamot, tart blackcurrant, buchu, and African marigold, this woody citrus fragrance creates a bright atmosphere. The scent softens into an airy heart featuring violet, cyclamen, and jasmine petals. Finally, it settles into a dry, woody base of cedarwood and vetiver, balanced by soft musks and sweet tonka bean absolue.
