Dia de los Muertos
Fragrance notes
Character
Passionfruit and pomelo open with a tart, sunny brightness that quickly gives way to cinnamon and bergamot. The CO2 extracts add a green, slightly sharp edge that keeps the fruit from leaning sugary too fast. Frangipani and marigold arrive early, soft and creamy, while the Bulgarian rose adds a powdery depth that feels more vintage than modern. Patchouli in the heart pulls the florals toward earth, grounding the composition before the base takes over.
Horchata and vanilla absolute turn the scent milky and sweet, with sugar and amber wrapping the florals in a warm, edible blanket. Haitian vetiver and leather cut through that richness, adding a dry, smoky scratch that stops the sweetness from becoming a dessert. Musk lingers underneath, smooth and skinlike, while the balsamic accord hums quietly in the background. This is a fragrance for a candlelit courtyard where marigolds cover an altar and the air smells of spice, fruit, and cool night air.
The tropical opening feels like a distant memory once the vanilla and leather settle in. It suits someone who enjoys a floral that eventually turns dark and edible, but those who only wear crisp citrus or clean musk will find the drydown too heavy and thick. It carries the weight of a celebration that honors the dead through food, flowers, and smoke, sitting close to the skin like a second layer. The vetiver curls around the horchata
