By the editors · 2 min readApple and rose open in a soft fruity-floral handshake, the apple crisp rather than syrupy and the rose mid-pitch and slightly powdery. The opening reads safe and broadly accessible.
Cypriol, vanilla and iris form the heart. Cypriol adds a smoky-woody twist that lifts the composition out of generic fruity-floral territory, vanilla sweetens the corners, and iris contributes a powdered floral edge. The middle is the most distinctive stage.
Oud, cedar, patchouli and musk close the composition. The oud is restrained and modern, more woody-warm than smoky-medicinal, and cedar and patchouli build the dry structure underneath. Musk smooths everything into a clean drydown. Overall the arc is a contemporary fruity-floral-woody with a fashionable oud-amber tail at affordable scale.
