By the editors · 2 min readBergamot opens briefly with a juicy lift before almond and heliotrope take over, building a soft marzipan-cherry impression within minutes. The first seconds are bright but the composition settles quickly.
The heart becomes a creamy almond pastry, the heliotrope adding cherry-vanilla powder that gives a baked-goods quality. There is little floral feel; the almond dominates the middle entirely.
Rum and vanilla close the arc with a boozy gourmand warmth, the rum's fermented depth preventing the sweetness from feeling childish. The dry-down reads as almond cake with a splash of liquor — rich, comforting, noticeably sweet. Linear once past the bergamot, with strong gourmand projection softening to a long sweet skin-close.
