By the editors · 2 min readPear and raspberry open with a glossy pink fruit accord — sweet but watery, like fruit pulled out of a chilled bowl. Pink pepper adds a peppery sparkle that keeps the top from feeling sugary.
The heart is a violet-rose pairing where violet dominates: powdery, slightly candied, with a soft cosmetic feel, while rose adds a dewy roundness rather than a deep jam.
The base is restrained: patchouli's earthy bite tempers a warm amber-sandalwood cushion, holding the floral fruit in place without smothering it. Overall character is a polished pink composition — fruity-floral with a patchouli spine and powdery violet heart, sweetly feminine and best for daytime wear in mild weather rather than full evening occasions.
