By the editors · 2 min readInnuendo arrives on a burst of citrus — lemon, orange, bergamot, and the sharp green quality of lemon verbena that extends the freshness slightly past the usual opening phase. The heart is a concise floral: jasmine and may rose form the structural pair, with ylang-ylang adding richness and violet providing powdery contrast. The base is deliberately restrained for this house — tonka bean, sandalwood, labdanum, and patchouli in measured quantities, creating a rounded, slightly powdery drydown that doesn't push toward the dense base-heavy compositions characteristic of many Roja Dove titles. It wears closer to the skin than the house's grands projecting chypres.
