Emotion
Emotion opens with a collision of the tropical and the floral — creamy coconut pushing against the crisp green snap of lily of the valley, while black currant adds a sharp, almost syrupy edge.

By the editors · 2 min readEmotion opens with a collision of the tropical and the floral — creamy coconut pushing against the crisp green snap of lily of the valley, while black currant adds a sharp, almost syrupy edge. The effect reads at first as a warm-weather confection, but it settles into something more considered.
At the heart, ylang-ylang layers in its characteristic heady sweetness, tempered by the cool, powdery lift of iris. The initial brightness gives way to something more composed than the opening suggests — less vacation, more afternoon.
The base is understated and warm: sandalwood provides a smooth, slightly milky platform, while vetiver cuts through with its earthy grassiness. A clean musk anchors everything without drawing attention to itself. This is a softly feminine, warm-weather composition suited to those who favor tropical-floral over purely green or sharp citrus pairings.
