Fragrance notes
Character
Pear opens the composition with a crisp bite, the bergamot cutting through a juicy, slightly green pear. The fruit is bright and immediate, catching the light before the heavier elements arrive. Tuberose dominates the heart, thick and creamy, supported by orange blossom and jasmine sambac. The white floral accord feels dense, almost waxy, with a natural weight that demands attention. There is a distinct animalic edge here, a tiny roughness that keeps the flowers from smelling like soap.
Patchouli and vetiver anchor the base, bringing an earthy, woody dryness that grounds the sweetness. Vanilla adds a soft, rounded warmth, while ambroxan gives the blend a modern, slightly synthetic amber glow. The combination creates a contrast between the cool citrus start and the heated, resinous finish. It is a scent that feels textured, moving between fruity freshness and a deep, soil-like richness without smoothing the transition.
The overall impression is bold and unapologetic, suited to someone who enjoys a heavy white floral with a dirty, earthy backbone. It fits evening wear during the warmer months, where the heat can lift the pear and bergamot. Those who prefer clean, transparent scents should avoid it, as this is a dense and complex companion.
