Our take

Fantasist centers on a sharp grapefruit and apple opening that feels bright and immediate. The fruit is crisp rather than sugary, with pink pepper adding a light sting that keeps the start from leaning soft. Cannabis sits underneath, giving the citrus a green, slightly resinous edge that makes the air around the scent feel textured rather than polished.

Rose and jasmine enter without turning the fragrance floral in a traditional sense. The flowers are cool and slightly muted, letting the coffee note take a firmer hold. That coffee is dry and dark, pulling the heart away from sweetness and toward something more grounded. It works with the cannabis to keep the composition feeling lean.

Praline and tonka bean bring a gentle warmth that settles close to the skin. The praline is not loud, offering a thin layer of sugar that sits beneath the incense rather than covering it. Musk smooths the base so the sweeter elements do not separate from the spice. The scent stays near the body as it wears, moving through the notes without pushing outward.

This is a fragrance for clear, active daylight. The grapefruit and apple feel at home in bright air, and the coffee keeps the mood steady rather than relaxed. The praline and tonka bean give just enough softness for a casual setting without making the scent feel dressed up. The incense lingers as the praline fades, leaving a dry, faintly spicy trace that continues to follow the wearer through the morning
