By the editors · 2 min readRose appears at the top, unusual as an opener — here it reads as a dense, jammy floral that shifts quickly into the star anise heart. The anise adds a sweet-herbal, slightly medicinal character that contrasts with the sandalwood's creamy warmth. Raspberry and blackberry emerge in the base, reversed from conventional pyramid logic, adding a dark, slightly tart fruit quality. Caramel ties it all into a sweet, rich finish.
This is a fruit-spice-caramel composition with an unusual structure. The inverted pyramid places the fruit low rather than high, making the drydown the sweetest phase. Dark fruit and caramel together create a dessert-like register. Best in cooler weather; the sweetness can feel heavy in heat.
