By the editors · 2 min readPear and blackberry give the opening a juicy, slightly purple cast — pink pepper adding a brief peppered lift before the heart turns to violet and rose. The violet is the dominant note, lending the whole perfume a candy-cool sweetness without quite tipping into gourmand territory.
Amber in the base smooths the closure, blending into the violet to create a soft powdery warmth. The composition reads young and uncomplicated; suited to spring and casual wear, the kind of perfume worn without much thought to where one is going. Pretty, polite, easy.
