By the editors · 2 min readStewed orchard fruit folded into resinous warmth. Apple, plum, and peach open soft and syrupy, sweetened further by a dusting of cinnamon that keeps the fruit from turning candied. Jasmine threads through the heart, white and slightly indolic, lending shape to what would otherwise be pure dessert.
The drydown is where the perfume earns its name: opoponax and vanilla settle into a low, dusky hum, more incense-adjacent than gourmand. The fruit doesn't disappear so much as caramelize against the resin. It reads cooler in the second hour than the opening promises — heavy without being thick, a banked fire rather than a fresh one.
