Gala

Gala unfolds with bright Amalfi lemon and bergamot sharpened by green aldehydes—crisp, almost electric. The heart softens into carnation and lily-of-the-valley's powdery sweetness, threaded with jasmine and rose's heavier florals, ylang-ylang adding a creamy undercurrent. As it settles, amber and labdanum warm the base while sandalwood and patchouli ground the composition; civetta and castoreum introduce an animalic depth that prevents vanilla and benzoin from tipping into simple sugar. The result: celebratory without excess, floral without artifice.
