By the editors · 2 min readMelon and pear open with watery, slightly aquatic fruit sweetness. Cinnamon adds a warm prickle that bridges the cool fruit into something more interesting, and pomegranate threads tart red sharpness through both. The opening reads juicy and slightly retro fruity-floral.
Jasmine, ylang-ylang, orange blossom, and rose form a heady mixed-floral heart. Jasmine and orange blossom bring creamy white-floral warmth; ylang-ylang adds banana-custard tropicality; rose contributes pink softness. The middle is lush and full-bodied, almost vintage-style.
Oakmoss, coconut, vanilla, apricot, musk, and caramel build an unusual base — half chypre, half gourmand. Tropical-floral with mossy-gourmand undertow, moderate projection, cool-weather flattering.
