By the editors · 2 min readAn esprit de parfum concentration means this starts heavy. Plum and rosewood arrive already warmed, leading into a floral heart that is anything but polite — tuberose and jasmine push hard, with frankincense and opoponax casting a resinous shadow underneath. Heliotrope weaves through the structure, adding a soft almond-powder layer that blurs the line between floral and oriental.
By drydown it is dense: warm amber, sandalwood, and vanilla holding the florals in suspension, cedar and vetiver adding structure without drying things out. For those who want Poison at full volume.
