By the editors · 2 min readPear with a citrus rim. The opening pairs ripe pear flesh with lemon and bergamot, and for the first ten minutes it reads less like perfume than like a chilled fruit cocktail set down on a stone counter.
Freesia is the entire heart, and it does its job efficiently — peppery, slightly soapy, holding the line between the fruit and the wood beneath. There is no other floral arguing with it, which is unusual for a Daisy-adjacent flanker, and the result feels cleaner and more direct than the line's typical bouquet.
The dry-down is amber and musk, kept airy. A summer-only fragrance: bright, brief, easy to overspray and easy to forget. Office-safe; pool-safe; the kind of thing you reach for when nothing else feels right for the heat.
