By the editors · 2 min readPlum and peach lead the opening, juicy and slightly jammy, with black currant adding a darker tart edge and bergamot lifting the whole cluster. The fruit reads ripe rather than fresh, setting an opulent tone immediately.
The heart is densely floral — jasmine, ylang-ylang, rose, iris, lily of the valley, and orange blossom layered together. Iris adds the powdered hush that keeps the bouquet from going too lush; ylang-ylang gives the warmer banana-tinged richness.
The base is classical chypre-oriental: oakmoss, vetiver, leather, and tonka against sandalwood, myrrh, and vanilla. It dries down into a softly smoky resinous warmth with leathery shadow. Overall character is an opulent fruity-floral chypre with oriental depth — projecting steadily, reading lush and somewhat retro.
