By the editors · 2 min readThe opening is juicy and tilted feminine — pear and peach over pink pepper, with the bergamot giving it a slightly sparkling edge rather than a sour one.
A jasmine and violet heart pulls things prettier as the fruit recedes, with peach lingering into the middle to keep things plush. Violet adds a powdered, slightly retro softness that keeps the floral from feeling generic.
Virginia cedar and musk close things out cleanly, with the wood lending a dry frame and the musk pushing the drydown skin-close and laundered. There's no real depth past that point, and projection drops fairly quickly. Reads as a young, daytime spring or summer scent — easy, warm-skinned, and uncomplicated.
