By the editors · 2 min readPineapple and plum give the opening a juicy, slightly overripe quality, brightened by bergamot before clary sage introduces a herbal undercurrent. The top accord is dense and shifting rather than simply fruity.
Tuberose anchors the heart alongside jasmine, ylang-ylang, and orange blossom — a full white-floral cluster, heady and slightly indolic. Iris keeps the floral from becoming entirely tropical, adding a cool powdery note. This is the heart of the composition and it is unabashedly opulent.
Sandalwood, opoponax, and civet steer the base toward something warm, resinous, and animalic. Vetiver adds a dry thread. Vanilla softens the civet's edge, resulting in a rich, old-school oriental floral that wears close and evolves slowly.
