By the editors · 2 min readVenus & Cupid opens with fig leaf and neroli — an unusual pairing that positions this as a green, slightly milky floral from the first moments. Fig leaf's creamy-bitter quality and neroli's honeyed citrus-floral warmth together create a compelling, naturalistic opening.
Tuberose, mimosa, and rose in the heart form a full, lush floral accord — the tuberose providing its characteristically heady, buttery quality alongside mimosa's soft, powdery warmth. Moss, sandalwood, amber, and honey in the base create a warm, slightly animalic drydown. The honey note adds a distinctive sweetness that deepens as the fragrance progresses. A complex, nuanced white floral with well-considered depth throughout.
