By the editors · 2 min readPlum and bergamot open with a dark, slightly acidic fruitiness. The plum skews toward the richer, almost wine-like end of the spectrum rather than candied sweetness, and the bergamot sharpens the edges without softening the opening's moody tone.
The heart is sparse — the fragrance moves quickly toward its base, where patchouli and praline do the main work. Patchouli provides an earthy, resinous foundation, while praline introduces a nutty, caramelized sweetness that fills the space left by the absent floral heart.
Cashmeran adds a warm, woody-musky softness underneath, blending the earthy and sweet elements into a smooth finish. The overall character is dark-fruity and gourmand-adjacent — sultry rather than playful.
