By the editors · 2 min readTarsila opens with a bright fruit-floral chord: pear's mild sweetness paired with peony and mimosa's delicate powdery florality. The mimosa note adds a slightly honeyed, anise-adjacent quality that lifts the opening without pushing it toward candy. Named for the pioneering Brazilian modernist painter Tarsila do Amaral, the fragrance shares something of her aesthetic — vivid on the surface with unexpected structural depth.
The heart introduces nectarine's sun-warmed stone fruit alongside hibiscus's bright tartness, with vanilla softening the arrangement into something warmer. The interplay between tart hibiscus and sweet nectarine is the most interesting moment in the development. The base arrives quietly with sandalwood and amber providing the foundation, while incense and frankincense add a smoky, resinous dimension unusual in this type of fruity-floral construction.
