By the editors · 2 min readApple and grapefruit open with a sharp, slightly cool fruitiness, the grapefruit pulling the apple toward something more tart than candied. The transition slips quickly into a heart that is the real centre of the composition: almond and heliotrope dominate, with anise giving the almond a faint liquorice edge.
The base of sandalwood, ambergris, myrrh, amber, vanilla and musk rounds the marzipan-like heart into a warm, soft drydown. The overall character is gently gourmand without crossing into dessert, the almond-heliotrope axis giving it a nostalgic powdery-sweet quality, finishing as a warm amber musk that sits close to the skin.
