By the editors · 2 min readStrawberry opens things immediately — bright, slightly jammy, sitting close to the skin rather than blasting outward. It reads more like ripe fruit than candy, which keeps the opening from feeling juvenile.
Orange blossom and peony arrive together, softening the fruit into something rounder. The orange blossom carries a mild soapy warmth here rather than heady indole, while the peony adds a watery, slightly green lift that prevents the heart from going too dense.
Sandalwood, benzoin, and patchouli anchor the drydown with a creamy, resinous base. The patchouli stays quiet — more texture than funk. Benzoin contributes a gentle balsamic sweetness that ties the fruit and florals into a cohesive, easygoing finish.
