OPENING
Fragrance notes
Character
Sunlight hits the veranda and the air carries a sharp slice of kaffir lime and lemongrass. Coconut sits beside them, smooth and round, while jasmine lifts through the warm air with a clean, slightly soapy brightness. The opening feels alive and vivid, like a drink poured fresh on a wooden table surrounded by green leaves.
Spices arrive as the morning moves on. Ginger and nutmeg bring a dry heat that keeps the citrus from feeling too light. Blue lotus and frangipani add a soft floral weight, and cloves give a tiny prick of sharpness that keeps the flowers from becoming too gentle. White ginger lily sits in the background with a quiet, watery freshness.
Benzoin and tolu balsam settle into the air with a sweet resinous warmth, joined by sandalwood and a dry oud that feels more like a shadow than a heavy weight. The accord stays anchored in citrus the whole time, which keeps the resin from feeling too dark. The one drawback is that the coconut sometimes reads more like a synthetic cream than a real fruit, which can pull the natural edge of the lime slightly out of focus.
