By the editors · 2 min readPear delivers a crisp, watery sweetness that is cut immediately by black pepper’s dry heat, while bergamot keeps the opening bright and diffusive. Violet leaf adds a cool, crushed-green facet that bridges the fruit to iris’s cool, chalky powder, and lavender steers the heart toward a clean aromatic field. Sandalwood and vetiver tighten the base into a blond-wood spine, letting labdanum’s resinous amber glow pool underneath without turning syrupy; skin-close musk stops the woods from becoming too dry. During the dry-down the iris-lavender accord lingers longest, projecting a soft, slightly sweet woodiness that stays within arm’s length. The composition reads smart-casual, working best in spring office air or a cool summer evening terrace.
