Durian
Fragrance notes
Character
Kaffir lime opens the composition with a bright, leafy citrus that feels fresh and slightly bitter. The tea note sits beside it, adding a dry, steeped aroma that keeps the opening from becoming too juicy. This is a green and citrus introduction that feels more like a garden than a fruit bowl.
Durian appears in the heart with a dense, creamy texture. It is rich and savory, paired with the smooth, fatty quality of avocado. The combination creates a thick, almost pulpy floral fruitiness that is heavy on the skin. It is an unusual center that demands attention from the start.
Condensed milk in the base turns the blend distinctly sweet and lactonic. It coats the sharper edges of the fruit with a sugary, dairy richness. Amber adds a warm, golden resinous depth that grounds the exotic fruit in a familiar, cozy foundation. The result is a sweet, amber-heavy drydown.
Composed by James Nguyen, this unisex release suits those who enjoy tropical scents that lean into creamy gourmand territory. It is not for anyone seeking a light, airy citrus or a traditional floral bouquet. The overall impression is a bowl of ripe fruit dripping with sweetened cream under a warm resin lamp.
