Fragrance structure
How it develops
Bergamot starts the composition with a cool, sparkling citrus edge, quickly joined by lavender's clean herbal calm. As the brightness recedes, cedar and vetiver sharpen the center, giving the lavender a dry, slightly earthy frame instead of a soft floral sweetness. Sandalwood then rounds the edges, while ambergris-like musk adds a smooth mineral warmth underneath. The progression moves from crisp and airy to quietly woody, preserving a formal, controlled finish.
