Notes, explained
Opening
- Pineapple Tangy, boozy and tropical. Loud and hard to hide.
- Passionfruit Sharp, tropical and slightly sulphurous. Vivid and modern.
- Rum Boozy, sweet and warm. Adds a grown-up edge to gourmands.
Heart
- Peach Fuzzy, warm and slightly creamy. Soft rather than sharp.
- Coconut Creamy and tropical. Suncream in the best possible way.
- Raspberry Tart, jammy and slightly fuzzy. Very popular in modern sweet scents.
Dry-down
- Cedarwood Dry, pencil-shaving woodiness. Clean and structural.
- Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
- Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
- Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
