Pineapple dominates the opening with a syrupy tropical sweetness that the strawberry and plum amplify into candied fruit compote while lime and bergamot inject a brief citric sparkle to keep the sugar rush from cloying.

By the editors · 2 min readPineapple dominates the opening with a syrupy tropical sweetness that the strawberry and plum amplify into candied fruit compote while lime and bergamot inject a brief citric sparkle to keep the sugar rush from cloying. The heart swaps juice for petals: gardenia’s creamy white radiance meets jasmine’s slightly indolic lift, both cushioned by lily’s aqueous green and a restrained rose that adds polite floral structure without tannic bite. Vanilla slowly overtakes the fruit in the dry-down, its pod-like creaminess merging with sandalwood’s buttery wood and a clean musk to create a soft amber accord while cedar supplies quiet pencil-shavings dryness and ambergris lends a subtle salty skin aura. Projection hovers at arm length for four hours then settles into a sweet skin musk ideal for casual fall days or flirty evening wear.
