Our take

Sunlight hits the terrace table where a glass of iced tea sweats into the wood. A hand reaches for the glass, and the air around the wrist carries Unicorn Tears by Zoe Karssen. The first impression is bright and kitchen-fresh, with mandarin orange and bergamot pulled into a green, leafy space by basil. Apple adds a crisp bite, while ylang-ylang and orange blossom soften the edges with a white floral lift that feels clean rather than heavy.

As the morning continues, the scent settles into its middle. Iso E Super creates a smooth, slightly transparent wood that lets jasmine sambac and rose breathe without crowding the air. Nutmeg brings a gentle, fresh spicy warmth that keeps the florals from drifting into something too soft. It is aromatic and lightly powdery, a blend that feels composed and modern rather than decorative.

Below that, patchouli and sandalwood give the fragrance a grounded, woody character. Amber and labdanum add a golden, resinous depth, and musk wraps the whole composition in a gentle, musky haze. The green opening and the amber base meet without clashing, supported by the fruity citrus that still lingers from the start. It suits someone who enjoys a floral woody musk that balances fresh herbs with warm resin.

The terrace stays quiet, the glass still cold, and the air around the table holds that mix of basil, apple, jasmine, and sandalwood while the resinous base continues to rise through the bright top notes
