By the editors · 2 min readStricnina opens with a flash of citrus that vanishes almost immediately, making way for an unexpected collision of warm cinnamon and jammy fruit. The raspberry and peach aren't shy—they're both candied and slightly feral, sweetened but retaining a pulpy thickness that keeps the composition from sliding into pure dessert territory. The cinnamon acts less like a spice and more like a thread of heat winding through the fruit.
As it settles, amber and vanilla arrive to soften the edges without erasing them. The musk adds a skin-like quality that grounds what could otherwise feel like pure fantasy. What remains is a scent that hovers between gourmand comfort and something more provocative, never quite settling into either camp. It's unabashedly bold, suited to those who prefer their sweetness laced with friction rather than polished smooth.
