Pineapple lands next, reinforcing the yellow-fruit accord while jasmine and ylang inject indolic creaminess that blurs the citrus edges. As the top evaporates, tonka bean and vanilla surge, wrapping the white musk in a toasted-almond sweetness that feels like praline dusted with pink pepper heat. The late dry-down keeps sandalwood submerged under this fluffy gourmand cloud, so wood never challenges the candy profile. Projection stays at arm’s length for six hours before collapsing to skin-level skin scent. Humid summer days turn the fruit syrup cloying; better for warm spring brunches or resort evenings when you want a playful, edible aura without overt florals.
