Divinité

By the editors · 2 min readPineapple opens bright and syrupy, its candied acidity shearing through velvet rose petals that arrive almost simultaneously. The rose quickly folds into gardenia and tuberose, the white trio turning thick and custard-like, with tuberose’s camphorous edge preventing total sugar collapse. Vanilla surfaces early, warming the floral cream while patchouli adds a quiet cocoa-brown undercurrent that keeps the base from frosting. As the hours pass the bouquet softens into a milky tropical skin, still sweet but now skin-close, the initial fruit brightness reduced to a memory of canned pineapple left in sunshine. Projection stays intimate for the first three hours, then settles to a whisper that clings through an office day. Best worn in late summer humidity when its lactonic heft can breathe without suffocating.
