By the editors · 2 min readPomegranate and orange open tart and sweet, the orange more candied than fresh, giving the entry an immediate fruity warmth rather than citrus zing. It fades quickly into the heart.
Tuberose and jasmine carry indolic weight, with freesia keeping things lighter and iris adding a cool powdery streak. The white-floral mass is full but not heady, the iris pulling it slightly grey-violet.
Patchouli and musk take over in the base, the patchouli on the cleaner side rather than earthy-headshop, musk adding a soft animalic warmth. The overall character is a fruity white-floral on a musky-patchouli floor — moderately projecting, leans evening, suits cooler weather where the tuberose doesn't go strident.
