By the editors · 2 min readPear and raspberry burst first, a juicy-candied tandem that drags bergamot into red-fruit territory rather than classic citrus sparkle. Heliotrope steps in early, its almond-like powder sheening the berries with a cosmetic softness, while freesia adds aqueous green lift and rose keeps the heart recognisably floral. The dry-down is where the perfume pivots: sandalwood creams out the fruit sugars, vetiver adds a quiet grass stalk dryness, and benzoin pooled over amber turns the base into a translucent caramel-wood skin film that still carries a ghost of the opening pear. Projection stays within arm’s length for about five hours, then collapses to a warm, slightly milky wood. Spring and early summer outdoor brunches, vacation shopping, or any situation where you want obvious fruity sweetness without dessert-heaviness.
