By the editors · 2 min readPineapple and orange enter brightly against a green, resinous galbanum note, giving the opening an unusual tropical-meets-herbal edge. The contrast is immediate: sweet fruit cut by something sharp and bitter.
Incense rises through the heart alongside tuberose and ylang-ylang, and the composition pivots substantially. The white florals here are dense and heady, while the incense provides a dry, smoky counterbalance. The result is neither purely floral nor purely resinous but sits in tension between both.
Ambergris, amber, and vanilla anchor the base with a warm, slightly animalic softness. The finish is smooth and sustained, the earlier fruit and greenery largely dissolved into a resinous floral warmth.
