Reading the scent profile
The citrus opening reads bright and direct, followed by a calmer aromatic heart from lavender and herbs. Woods and patchouli add a drier, deeper finish while the overall direction stays classically citrus-led.
Who might enjoy it?
It may suit people who prefer composed aromatic citrus to sweet or dense scents. Try it on skin to see how the herbs and woods balance the citrus.
