Ilhabela
Ilhabela opens with an immediate pairing of cinnamon and almond — warm, slightly bakery-adjacent, with the cinnamon adding a dry heat that keeps the almond from tipping into confection.

By the editors · 2 min readIlhabela opens with an immediate pairing of cinnamon and almond — warm, slightly bakery-adjacent, with the cinnamon adding a dry heat that keeps the almond from tipping into confection. Vanilla and heliotrope in the heart deepen the sweetness without introducing floral florality; heliotrope here reads as powdery and softly almond-forward.
Ambroxan in the base provides a clean, skin-close warmth with a faint marine texture — it lifts the composition just enough to prevent it from becoming heavy. The overall character is of a warm, cosy gourmand-oriental that leans tropical in name but spiced in delivery. Approachable and easy to wear in cooler weather.
