By the editors · 2 min readTrouble opens with a bright lemon that quickly softens into something warmer and less citrus-forward than expected. The jasmine emerges within minutes, powdery and slightly indolic, threading through the composition without dominating it. This is jasmine treated with restraint, more suggestion than proclamation.
The dry-down is where the perfume settles into its character: a woody-musky base anchored by sandalwood and cedar, rounded out with amber's resinous sweetness. The musk here feels clean rather than animalic, giving the entire structure a polished, almost soapy finish.
Despite its name, Trouble feels remarkably composed—neither daring nor particularly troublesome. It sits comfortably in the early 2000s tradition of accessible white florals with warm woods, the kind of fragrance that works equally well in an office or at dinner. Straightforward, wearable, perhaps a bit too polite for the intrigue its name suggests.
