Fragrance notes
Character
Star anise and pineapple greet the skin with a bright, slightly sharp welcome that feels sparkling rather than heavy. Brazilian rosewood grounds those juicy top notes with a dry, polished woodiness that keeps the opening from leaning too sugary. Lemon adds a quick flash of clarity before the heart unfolds, and that first impression moves fast from fruit to flower.
Licorice twists through the jasmine and rose, giving the floral heart a cool, almost medicinal edge that sets it apart from a standard bouquet. Lily-of-the-valley lightens the blend just enough to stop the spices from weighing down the middle. The composition stays close through this phase, never billowing outward even as the flowers reach their peak.
Almond and heliotrope soften the descent into the base, where vanilla and tonka bean create a powdery, rounded finish that lingers on fabric longer than on the wrist. The scent settles into a gentle warmth that suits a dimly lit dinner or a crisp evening walk under coats, fitting easily into those months when the air feels cool but not freezing. It is a companion for low light and layered clothing.
The tradeoff sits in the base, where the almond turns slightly flat and the vanilla lacks the depth to carry the whole drydown. What starts as a distinctive, spicy floral eventually fades into a simple sweetness that does not quite justify the promising opening.
