Ode à l'amour
Ode à l'amour opens with a fruity burst — apple and black currant, plum threaded through — before the heart narrows to plum and ylang-ylang, the exotic floral adding warmth and a slightly creamy quality to the dark fruit.

By the editors · 2 min readOde à l'amour opens with a fruity burst — apple and black currant, plum threaded through — before the heart narrows to plum and ylang-ylang, the exotic floral adding warmth and a slightly creamy quality to the dark fruit. Sandalwood, amber, and vanilla in the base create a smooth, sweet oriental finish that softens everything that came before. Built around contrasting black currant tartness and warm vanilla base, with ylang-ylang as the unexpected bridge between them. Pleasant, accessible, and more considered than its price suggests.
