By the editors · 2 min readGinger and peony open with a warm-cold pull — the spice tingling against the wet flower — before raspberry and freesia bring a juicy, slightly tart heart. The fruit reads fresh rather than candied.
The drydown leans on a vetiver-patchouli pairing that gives the composition a green, earthy spine, with peony and musk softening the line back toward skin. A summer flanker that keeps the flagship's spirit but trades richness for transparency — fruity-floral without the syrup.
