By the editors · 2 min readPear and grapefruit open crisp and slightly aquatic, with the pear bringing a watery juiciness and the grapefruit a bitter-bright edge. The first impression is dewy and transparent rather than sweet.
Apple at the heart extends the fresh-fruit sensibility, leaning green-apple rather than ripe, and gives the composition a fleeting orchard quality. There's little floral development to speak of — the fruit holds the middle on its own. Cedar and musk in the base bring a dry, pencil-clean woodiness and a soft, laundered skin tone. The character stays light and airy throughout, more a clean fresh-fruity than a true marine despite the name, with low projection and a quiet, mostly linear trail.
