What it smells like
Cyclamen Aldehyde delivers a powerful, diffusive floral signature combining cyclamen-lily-of-the-valley floralcy with distinctive watery-ozonic freshness, crisp green stem-like character, and unique fruity-vegetal nuances reminiscent of rhubarb, cucumber, and fresh melon that bridges classic florals with modern aquatic themes.
