By the editors · 2 min readRaspberry and peach open jammy-sweet with bergamot's quick citrus lift on top — the fruit reads ripe and slightly cooked, more compote than fresh. Within minutes iris begins to push through, its rooty cool standing oddly against the warm fruit.
The heart is the negotiation between fruit and iris: ylang-ylang adds a creamy-banana floral roundness, rose threads warm and pink, jasmine in the general bouquet adds a touch of indolic depth. The iris does most of the structural work, lending the composition its powdery, slightly chalky spine. The base settles into tonka's sweet-hay warmth and musk's clean skin-glow. The progression is from juicy-sweet to powdery-floral.
Overall a powdery floral with a fruit halo, soft and slightly nostalgic. Cool-weather daytime, intimate projection.
