Pavlova

Pavlova opens with a lively burst of grapefruit, mandarin orange, raspberry, and cassia. The citrus feels brisk and bright, while raspberry adds a soft red sweetness that gives the opening a playful edge. Cassia brings a warm, fresh-spicy flicker, lending shape to the fruit before the floral core begins to gather.

Tuberose takes the lead in the heart, surrounded by jasmine, ylang-ylang, neroli, hyacinth, and geranium. The effect is full and distinctly white-floral, with green and aromatic facets threading through the petals. Pavlova has a polished vintage character, yet the crisp citrus keeps its floral richness lively. Picture a green glasshouse after rain, with white blossoms filling the warm air and damp leaves underfoot. It feels feminine, expressive, and carefully dressed, suited to someone who enjoys floral perfume with a mossy backbone.

The drydown is where the composition gains depth. Oakmoss and vetiver bring an earthy, slightly cool texture, while sandalwood smooths the edges into a creamy wood tone. Musk gives the base a soft, clean veil, and vanilla adds a gentle sweetness that lingers around the woods and moss. The transition is gradual, with the floral volume settling into a more grounded blend that still carries its character. Pavlova is long-lasting, and its sillage forms a modest bubble around the wearer, giving it an assured presence at close range. Spring and autumn suit its green floral structure especially well, while summer wear works best in a light application. It belongs at a daytime lunch, a garden gathering, or any setting that welcomes elegant floral detail.
