How Blue Sapphire Smells: Notes & Development

Blue Sapphire opens with Lemon, Grapefruit, Mint and Pink Pepper — the first impression as it hits the skin. Once that burns off, usually inside the first half hour, the heart turns to Ginger, Nutmeg, Jasmine and Iso E Super. What lingers on skin and clothing hours later is the base: Cedar, Sandalwood, Patchouli and White Musk.

Strip it back to the bones and the profile reads Citrus, Fresh Spicy, Woody, Aromatic — easy to place and easy to wear.
