As the fragrance settles, luscious blood orange and creamy cardamom come to the fore, complemented by basil and subtle rosemary for a truly Mediterranean heart. The transition is gentle and uplifting, maintaining brightness while gradually layering in complexity, just like a long, golden afternoon spent by the sea.
