By the editors · 2 min readPear and basil open with a unusual fruity-green pairing, where the pear's mild sweetness is checked by basil's aromatic freshness. Jasmine, heliotrope, and rose form a soft floral heart that leans powdery and slightly cosmetic, with heliotrope imparting a gentle almond-like nuance. Oakmoss provides a dry, earthy foundation that grounds the florals, while musk adds a clean skin-scent quality to the dry-down. The scent evolves subtly from its bright top to a more muted, powdery-mossy base, retaining a vintage-inspired elegance throughout. Projection is intimate and longevity moderate, making it suitable for spring daytime wear in casual or semi-formal settings.
