By the editors · 2 min readPlum and pomegranate macerate in their own skins, releasing a jammy sweetness that stains the apple's crisp bite into something wine-dark. Gardenia arrives already glazed with vanilla, its petals folded into tonka's hay-like coumarin so the flower reads as coconut-cream rather than heady white-bloom. Sandalwood never shouts; it infiltrates the custardy heart, adding a finely milled wood dust that keeps the confection from frosting sugar collapse. Amber spreads underneath like low-wattage bulb glass, warming but never glowing enough to caramelize the fruit. The wear is linear: purple compote that lingers close to skin, projecting a polite half-arm radius for six hours before folding into a lint-soft vanilla haze. Office, cool spring afternoons, grocery runs.
