By the editors · 2 min readHalloween Water Lily opens on violet and petitgrain with streaks of fruit — peach, strawberry, pear — blending a slightly purple-edged freshness against something rounder and sweet. The cardamom provides just enough spice to stop it reading purely as a fruity floral.
The heart is loosely defined, with clary sage and musk giving a soft herbal quality, while the composition drifts toward its resinous base. Incense and myrrh take hold gradually, pulling the fruity brightness down into smokier, balsamic territory.
The contrast between the light, fruity opening and the incense-heavy dry-down is the most interesting aspect. The shift is significant enough to make it feel like two distinct phases, which gives it more character than the opening alone would suggest.
