Exotic Bronze

By the editors · 2 min readRaspberry and peach create a bright, slightly tart fruit-forward opening that feels sun-warmed rather than candied. Lily of the valley keeps the top airy, stopping the sugars from cloying while bergamot lifts the whole with a thin metallic sparkle. In the heart, vanilla thickens the texture, laying a creamy blanket under soft peony and freesia so the fruits appear rounded rather than sharp. The base doubles down on vanilla, now toasted, alongside dry sandalwood and a clean vetiver that splits the difference between dessert and woodshop; patchouli adds quiet earth, musk a skin-close hum. During dry-down the fruit recedes, leaving a pale woods-and-milk accord that sits close to the body. Projection stays office-friendly, radiating about arm’s length for five hours; best in warm spring afternoons or mild summer nights when you want a gentle sweet presence rather than a statement.
