Six Scents Series Three 2 Mary Katrantzou Trompe l'Oleil

By the editors · 2 min readNeroli and peach open with a bright citrus-floral lift that quickly softens into a lush tropical fruitiness. Tuberose emerges as the dominant heart note, its creamy and narcotic white floral character amplified by ylang-ylang's banana-like sweetness and mimosa's powdery texture. Rose provides a subtle fruity counterpoint that prevents the white florals from becoming overly heavy or indolic. The dry-down settles into a warm, coumarin-rich tonka bean base that adds a vanillic sweetness and soft hay-like nuance. Projection remains moderate throughout with a floral sillage that lasts six to eight hours on skin. This composition works best in warm weather and suits evening occasions where its tropical floral character can shine.
