White Tulip & Myrrh
Fragrance notes
Character
Cassis and bergamot open this composition with a bright, juicy lift that feels like walking past a market stall just as the crates are opened. Marigold adds a gentle green edge to that first impression, steering it away from simple sweetness and into something a little more textured. The tulip and orange blossom in the heart carry that daylight mood forward, soft and clean rather than heavy or heady. Cyclamen brings a cool, watery facet that keeps the floral side from feeling too dense, so the early minutes stay airy and approachable.
Alberto Morillas composed this release for Massimo Dutti in 2024, and the blend moves with a steady, unhurried pace. The myrrh and amber in the base give it a warm, slightly resinous foundation that supports the flowers without swallowing them. Cedar and white musk keep the drydown smooth and tidy, so the scent stays close as it develops and never pushes outward across a large space. It remains present on the skin for a reasonable span, then recedes gradually instead of dropping away all at once.
This is a fragrance for someone who wants a floral that feels modern and unfussy rather than romantic or dramatic. It suits a person who enjoys a touch of fruit and spice in the morning but prefers a clean finish by the time the day is underway. Those who chase bold, dark orientals or loud statement pieces will find this too restrained and polite for their taste. It fits a bright kitchen table with sunlight on the wood and a glass of cold water nearby.
The air smells like a vase of fresh stems sitting in a room that has just been opened to the morning.
