By the editors · 2 min readPear and black currant open with a bright, juicy fruitiness — the pear soft and clean, the black currant adding a slightly tart, almost green edge. The opening is light and contemporary.
Ylang-ylang, orange blossom, and peony compose the heart. Ylang-ylang lends tropical creaminess, orange blossom adds a clean white-floral character, and peony contributes a fresh, slightly watery floral quality. The development reads as a soft white-floral bouquet with fruity persistence.
White musk, tonka bean, and cedar form the base. The drydown is clean and softly sweet, the musk providing a sheer skin-scent quality and tonka adding faint gourmand warmth. Cedar anchors with dry woody structure. Overall a fruity-floral with a sheer musk-cedar tail, suited to warm-weather casual wear.
