Fragrance Notes

Top Note: Bergamot

The candle opens with a bright, delicate hit of bergamot—a citrus note prized for its clarity, freshness, and subtle elegance.
It gently uplifts without dominating, offering a crisp introduction that sets a peaceful, well-balanced tone from the first light.

Heart Notes: Lily of the Valley, Fruity Accents, and Sweet 

As the top fades, lily of the valley emerges—clean, floral, and slightly green, creating a graceful and ethereal floral core.
A soft fruity accord weaves in brightness and roundness, while a subtle sweetness brings comfort without tipping into sugar.
Together, these notes form a romantic, quietly radiant heart—perfect for reflective evenings or calm daytime ambiance.

Base Notes: Woody Accord and Musky

The dry-down reveals a woody base—subtle, smooth, and grounding—intertwined with a rich, skin-like musk that lingers beautifully.
This musky-woody foundation gives depth and texture, anchoring the fragrance in warmth, elegance, and lasting sensory presence.
