By the editors · 2 min readRaspberry and heliotrope open together — the berry accord is tart-sweet, while heliotrope delivers an almond-powdery quality that softens the fruit immediately. Frankincense introduces a resinous, smoky underpinning as the composition develops, lifting the sweetness toward something more complex.
The musk anchors the dry-down in a soft, slightly animalic register. The interplay between heliotrope's powdery almond character and frankincense's resinous depth gives this a quietly luxurious feel — cherry-adjacent sweetness tempered by incense smoke. The combination has an old-fashioned sensibility that rewards patience. Wears well in cool evening settings where the resinous base has time to evolve slowly on the skin.
