Fragrance Notes
Fragrance family: Woody Spicy with citrus-green opening and a warm, woodsy base. Top notes bring a bright citrus burst with lime and bergamot mingled with green leaf notes. Heart notes introduce a peppery-spicy dimension with cardamom and delicate florals, evoking a sun-dappled garden path after rain. Base notes anchor the fragrance with cedarwood, sandalwood, musk, and vetiver, yielding a clean, earthy finish that lingers softly on skin. Expect a scent that evolves from fresh and uplifting to warm and comforting as it dries, with a subtle, refined sillage that stays close without overwhelming. Additional nuances include a rain-kissed leafy accord and a light resinous hint that adds depth without heaviness.
How to Use
- Hold the bottle 15-20 cm from your skin and spray onto pulse points such as wrists, neck, and behind the ears for a balanced opening.
- Avoid rubbing the wrist together after application, to preserve the fragrance's top notes and natural bloom.
- For longer wear, apply to clean, moisturized skin; consider layering with a matching lotion to extend the scent.
- Reapply sparingly if you want more projection in the evening; this EDT is designed for subtle, refined presence rather than loud impact.
- Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight; keep the cap on to protect the fragrance.
