By the editors · 2 min readPear at the top — clean, slightly green-juicy — handed quickly to a heart of ylang and narcissus. The narcissus is the unusual choice, its slightly hay-like, animalic-floral character giving the perfume more weight than typical pear-florals.
Moss and patchouli in the base lend earth and shadow, with jasmine and musk in the general notes adding white-floral lift. The composition reads pretty but with secret depths — a perfume that starts as fresh-fruity and ends somewhere quieter and stranger. Suited to spring and fall, casual wear; designed to reveal itself slowly.
