By the editors · 2 min readPlum opens dark and wine-stained, its jammy density immediately cloaked by iris that powders a cool, violet-tinged chalk across the fruit. The heart stays monochrome: iris and iris alone, turning the plum skin drier, almost papery, while a whisper of jasmine lifts the violet facet just enough to keep it from going stale. As the benzoin melts into cedar, the iris relaxes into a soft, grey suede that still carries a muted plum stain, the guaiac adding a faint ember rather than smoke. Projection sits at arm’s length for six hours, then collapses to skin, making it office-safe yet quietly sensual through cool autumn days.
