By the editors · 2 min readMelon and peach open with a juicy, almost watery sweetness that feels more aquatic than overtly fruity, the melon adding a subtle green edge that keeps the peach from turning syrupy. The heart layer folds magnolia and peony into sandalwood, the white petals lending a cool, lactonic creaminess that blurs the wood’s dry grain and stretches the fruit’s brightness into a soft, milky haze. As skin heat rises, the peony re-appears in the base, tethering the ambergris’s salty, mineral glow to the vanilla’s gentle custard warmth so the fragrance never drifts into candied territory. Projection stays at arm’s length for six hours, then collapses into a clean, skin-close whisper of salty vanilla wood. Designed for humid spring mornings or breezy summer terraces where its airy fruit and soft marine nuance read crisp rather than cloying.
