Ricina
Fragrance notes
Character
Ricina opens with a burst of ripe peach and juicy plum, the citrus of bergamot and orange oil cutting through the sweetness like a blade of sunlight through dense foliage. It is instantly inviting, almost edible, before the heart settles into a plush bouquet of peony and orange blossom, with jasmine adding a creamy indolic edge and iris dusting everything in a fine, powdery haze. The dry down is where this fragrance reveals its quiet depth: oakmoss and patchouli anchor the florals in damp earth, while a restrained agarwood and sandalwood base keeps things from tipping into full-on gourmand territory. The overall effect is a silk scarf embroidered with stone fruit and moss, left to dry on a rain-slicked garden bench. It feels natural but polished, niche in its balanced composition yet completely wearable across seasons, though spring is clearly its true home given the 100% seasonal preference and the way the fresh, fruity top notes sing in warmer air. The longevity is solidly reliable at nearly four hours, and the sillage sits close enough to be intimate without disappearing, which suits someone who wants a gentle hum rather than a shout. Skip this if you crave skanky jasmine or animalic ouds, because Ricina keeps its clean, powdery dignity intact. Wear it to a casual brunch, a daytime garden party, or any moment that asks for cheerful grace without demanding attention.
