By the editors · 2 min readPear opens things lightly — juicy and soft rather than sharp — providing a fruity frame before rose steps in. The rose is the undisputed center: full-bodied but not soapy, sitting naturally against the pear's sweetness.
Tonka bean and patchouli ground the base with a warm, slightly earthy contrast to the fruity-floral heart. The tonka adds a soft almond-like sweetness, while patchouli keeps it from floating into purely saccharine territory. Musk rounds the whole structure with a skin-level warmth.
The result is a moderate, approachable rose fragrance with fruity lift and an earthy-sweet base. It projects gently and suits transitional weather comfortably.
