Composition
Citrus and spices
The opening brings together lemon, limetta, lime and citrus, with their tangy freshness and, in the case of lime, a slight bitterness. Carnation brings spices with a clove scent and a balsamic touch; pepper adds a spicy dryness with herbaceous nuances.
Lavender and mint
The heart combines lavender, floral and fresh, crossed with a camphoraceous accent, with mint, whose menthol extends the freshness of the opening citrus. This aromatic tier retains a clear tone, between flower and cold herb.
Woods and musk
In the base, sandalwood offers a velvety, warm wood. Musk combines an animalic facet with a woody warmth, and a wood note rounds out the whole with its creamy softness.
Fougère family
Belonging to the fougère family, the composition relies on lavender, the traditional pivot of this aromatic family where fresh herbs meet a woody base. Mint accentuates the aromatic facet, while sandalwood, musk and wood provide the warm foundation that the family associates with its lavender notes.
