Botanyc N. 003 Bal Tropical starts with a splash of sour bergamot, lemon, and sweet litchi. The middle phase brings out fresh peony, rose, jasmine, and a touch of violet powderiness. Clean musk, warm amber, and dry cedar anchor the base. It feels breezy, bright, and easy for warm spring and summer afternoons.
