The Scarlet Letter
Fragrance notes
Saffron and cassis open the composition with a tart, spicy lift. Litchi and the citrus trio add a bright, juicy sheen that feels polished rather than playful. The fruit here is dense and dark, not a light summer spray.
Oak and praline sit at the center, giving the heart a woody gourmand texture. Plum deepens the sweetness while water lily and peony introduce a cool, watery contrast. Jasmine floats above the heavier elements without dominating them.
Papyrus and oud anchor the base with dry, resinous wood. Ambroxan and musk push a clean, amber warmth forward. Patchouli and vanilla return to the praline theme, wrapping the finish in a soft, slightly earthy blanket.
The leather accord runs quietly through the structure, adding a faintly rugged edge to the sweet wood. Wear it on a cool evening when a rich, resinous skin scent feels appropriate. It fits someone who enjoys oud without wanting a strictly traditional interpretation.
