Serenade

Aldehydes sparkle like crushed ice as bergamot and bright mandarin open Serenade, a clean, almost luminous top that catches light. Elemi adds a subtle resinous whisper before nutmeg and cardamom emerge warm and quietly spiced, grounded by jasmine and rose that bloom without overripening. Neroli cuts through with nervy citrus florality; clary sage adds an herbaceous, slightly dusty edge. As the composition settles, oakmoss and vetiver create a dry, earthy anchor while amber and sandalwood bloom into creamy warmth, guaiac wood turning woody and slightly smoky beneath. Musk diffuses softly throughout, until only vanilla and the cool, mossy grip of vetiver remain on skin.
