Pink grapefruit and lychee open the composition in a fizzy pink wash — the grapefruit slightly bitter behind the lychee's rose-soda sweetness, neither given enough weight to dominate.

By the editors · 2 min readPink grapefruit and lychee open the composition in a fizzy pink wash — the grapefruit slightly bitter behind the lychee's rose-soda sweetness, neither given enough weight to dominate. Guava and passion fruit join in the heart, adding a tropical, almost juicy quality that's more cocktail glass than fruit bowl, with aquatic flowers softening any candy edges. The dry-down is built on a quiet vanilla and pale exotic woods that read smooth and slightly sweet rather than resinous. It's a deliberately summery construction — bright at the top, pulpy in the middle, soft at the bottom — that never asks for much attention. Within a few hours it settles to a faint sweet skin-scent.
