By the editors · 2 min readPineapple arrives first, bright and slightly syrupy, cut with pink pepper's sharp sparkle to keep it from tipping into candy. Ylang-ylang slides in quickly, its banana-like creaminess folding the fruit into a warm tropical custard that rides low on the skin. Benzoin and patchouli take over within an hour, the resin thickening the fruit while patchouli adds a cocoa-brown earthiness that mutes the sweetness rather than amplifying it. Musk sheathes the base in a clean, skin-close haze, so the finish feels like dried pineapple pressed into soft wood rather than full dessert. Projection stays polite—an arm-length bubble for three hours—then settles to a faint sweet wood that lingers on fabric. The accord works best in mild weather; heat flattens the pepper lift and cold mutes the tropical heart.
