By the editors · 2 min readApple and sea salt create an unusual opening that is both fruity and saline, offering a crisp yet marine-like impression. Heliotrope emerges quickly, adding a powdery, almond-like sweetness that contrasts with the salty top. Sandalwood provides a creamy woody base that supports the heliotrope without becoming too dense. Caramel and praline introduce a gourmand sweetness in the dry-down, blending with the powdery notes to create a dessert-like finish. The scent is linear after the initial salty-fruity burst, with intimate projection and moderate longevity. Best for casual wear in cooler weather, where its sweet and salty combo feels playful.
