By the editors · 2 min readPlay It Spicy opens with a tart pomegranate brightness that quickly softens into something warmer. The heliotrope at its center brings a marzipan sweetness—almond-like and pillowy—that counters any sharpness from the fruit. It's less literally spicy than the name suggests, more a gentle crescendo of amber-dusted sandalwood that rounds everything into submission.
By drydown, the pomegranate fades entirely, leaving a cozy, vanillic sandalwood base that sits close to the skin. This is approachable warmth without much edge: an easy-going, slightly sweet woody amber that works for casual evenings or late afternoons. The heliotrope keeps it from feeling too severe or masculine, lending a soft-focus quality throughout. Straightforward and unpretentious, it delivers uncomplicated comfort rather than surprise.
