Secret Gardenia

Bright citrus—pear and yuzu sharpened by bergamot—opens with an almost aquatic clarity, as if stepping into morning air. The heart unfolds into gardenia's creamy white bloom, anchored by violet's soft powder and ylang-ylang's honeyed depth, while jasmine adds a whisper of skin warmth. As the composition settles, sandalwood and cedar emerge, their dry woody spine gentling the floral sweetness until only a soft musk and pale cedar shadow remain against the skin.
