Our take

Wormwood opens this one bitter and slightly medicinal, an unusual way to introduce peach and freesia, which arrive a beat later and take the edge off without erasing it. The effect is fruit seen through a slightly bruised, herbal lens, not anything straightforwardly sweet. Rose, sandalwood and iris form the heart, and this is where Body turns powdery and a little cool, iris giving the rose a chalky, restrained quality instead of a simple bouquet feel.

Musk, cashmere wood, vanille and amber take over for the base, and this is the longest and warmest part of the fragrance. The vanille stays soft and creamy, not sugary, cashmere wood gives it a smooth, sanded texture, and amber adds a final glow that carries warmth into the drydown. It sticks around, showing no hurry to fade, and it stays close-range, present without pushing into anyone's space. The wormwood-and-peach opening suggests transitional weather, and that holds true year-round, though it leans hardest into fall, when the powdery iris and warm amber base feel most at home. It suits both daytime confidence and evening warmth, since day and night sides of it run close in strength. Anyone drawn to bitter-fruit openings and a powdery, ambery finish will enjoy how those two ends of the fragrance never quite agree.
