Coconut opens immediately, its fatty lactonic creaminess cushioned by bright lemon and a crackle of black pepper that keeps it from turning suntan-lotion sweet.

By the editors · 2 min readCoconut opens immediately, its fatty lactonic creaminess cushioned by bright lemon and a crackle of black pepper that keeps it from turning suntan-lotion sweet. A quick flash of clary sage adds a cool, slightly bitter green edge before the heart folds in ginger’s clean heat, letting the vanilla swell without cloying. The dry-down is dominated by tonka bean and caramelized sugar: the caramel melts into the vanilla, creating a soft, chewy praline accord while sandalwood supplies a whisper of dry wood that stops the base from becoming pure frosting. Projection stays close to the body, a skin-hugging gourmand that smells like coconut cream pie sprinkled with pepper rather than a beach cocktail. Wear it in cool weather when you want comfort without loud projection; office-safe yet still edible.
