By the editors · 2 min readYlang-ylang bursts open with custard-like creaminess that the peach skin instantly sugars while black currant sharpens the edges with tart green bite. Magnolia’s cool lemon-laced petals arrive first in the heart, but jasmine soon warms the bouquet, its indolic lift folding into plum’ bruised-purple sweetness so the fruit and white petals feel dipped in chilled fruit syrup. Musk in the base stays low, letting the tropical florals hover skin-close for hours, slowly drying into a soft peach-pollen haze rather than a clean laundry finish. Projection remains intimate, a scented-breeze radius perfect for office or humid summer evenings when loud sillage feels oppressive. Overall character is a dewy, lightly candied white bouquet that never turns syrupy, kept transparent by the currant snap and magnolia’s airy waxiness.
