Modelled profile
Bergamot and lemon sparkle over orange blossom, jasmine and lily, with musk smoothing everything into a clean glow. It's a polished, luminous cologne that stays cool and quietly elegant.

Projection, risk and texture describe how a fragrance behaves in a room and on skin.

Warmth and sweetness are derived from composition and do not carry that caveat.
