More Beauty Than Beast
Fragrance notes
Character
Pink grapefruit and blood grapefruit open the composition with a tart, juicy brightness that feels immediate and vivid. Allspice sits beside them with a peppery warmth that keeps the citrus from reading as simple or thin. The heart gathers ylang-ylang, jasmine sambac, jasmine, and may rose into a full yellow floral layer that carries weight and softness at once. Cloves, nutmeg, cassia, and Brazilian rosewood add a fresh spicy and aromatic character that deepens the floral side without turning sharp. The blend moves with steady density, and the spices never overwhelm the flowers.
Benzoin, vanilla, labdanum, frankincense, sandalwood, and civet form a base that is amber, woody, balsamic, and sweet. The resins bring a rounded warmth that supports the florals above them, while sandalwood adds a smooth wood tone. Civet gives the drydown a faint animalic edge that keeps the sweetness from becoming flat. The overall impression is rich and composed, with each accord clearly present and none dominating the others.
The fragrance fits a cool evening when the air is crisp and the light is low. It works well for someone who enjoys floral orientals that carry spice and resin throughout. Wear it when you want a full, warm composition that feels detailed and intentional from the first spray to the final drydown.
