By the editors · 2 min readPear and cardamom open together, the fruit watery and crisp while the spice stays mild — more suggestion than statement. The combination reads fresh and slightly airy from the first moment.
Freesia, lily of the valley, and peach carry the heart, building a soft floral-fruity accord that never becomes heavy. Black currant adds a faint dark edge without disrupting the overall brightness. The balance between fruit and flower is consistent rather than dramatic.
Sandalwood and cedar in the base warm things gently, with musk rounding the dry-down into something smooth and skin-close. The overall character is clean and approachable — a light everyday fragrance with quiet florals and a faintly sweet, woody finish.
