By the editors · 2 min readMadagascar vanilla leads the top note cluster — unusual for a citrus-fruit opener — lending an immediate warmth to the plum, apple, and black currant. Cinnamon adds spice without pushing the fragrance into oriental territory. Jasmine Sambac and thyme share the heart: the thyme contributes a green, slightly savory quality that prevents the composition from becoming purely sweet.
Sandalwood and cedar close the base warmly alongside olive tree, which adds a matte, slightly Mediterranean woodiness. The overall effect is a rich fruit-forward EDP with more backbone than many in the genre — attributable to Annick Menardo's reliable command of base structure.
