By the editors · 2 min readOpens with orange and lemon, the citrus clean and slightly candied. The first minutes are uncomplicated and bright, with no spice or green edge cutting across the fruit.
In the heart, violet, rose and musk arrive together. Violet is forward, lending a candied-powdery floral that gives the perfume its identity, while rose smooths the edges and musk extends the bouquet. There is a nod toward boiled-sweet imagery here, in keeping with the name.
The base of benzoin, vanilla, opoponax and musk converts the drydown into a warm balsamic-amber finish. Benzoin and opoponax lend a sweet resinous quality, vanilla rounds it, musk holds it close. Projection is moderate, settling into a long, powdery-balsamic violet trail.
