By the editors · 2 min readApple and lychee create an immediate, crisp-sweet splash that feels like chilled fruit water hitting skin. Magnolia steps in early, its lemony creaminess softening the fruit edges while blackberry adds a tart purple depth that keeps the heart from turning sugary. Rose arrives last in the heart, giving a clean pink lift that bridges the dark berry and the coming base. Oakmoss spreads a cool, earthy mat under the fruit-floral layer, turning the composition slightly damp and forest-like as skin heat rises. Ambergris adds a transparent, salty skin-tone glow, and vanilla warms the edges without thickening the air, so the fragrance stays buoyant rather than dessert-heavy. Projection sits at arm’s length for five hours before collapsing to a soft mossy skin scent. Spring through early fall, office-safe yet playful enough for weekend brunch.
