By the editors · 2 min readPineapple and ylang-ylang launch Colony with a bright, tropical-creamy lift that feels surprisingly weightless against the darker heart. Vetiver, frankincense and opoponax build a resinous, earthy spine while iris keeps a cool, rooty edge that stops the fruit from turning syrupy. Iris dusts the transition with a cool, violet-tinged powder that bridges the sweet top and the leather-vanilla base. In the dry-down the leather darkens, musk softens the seams, and a smoky-balsamic amber glows quietly for hours. Projection stays civil but persistent; excellent for cool fall days or a smart-casual office.
