Notes, explained

Opening

• Red Berries Generic jammy berry blend. Bright, sweet and crowd-pleasing.
• Plum Dark, wine-like and slightly stewed. Autumnal.
• Pear Crisp, watery and green-sweet. Clean and modern.

Heart

• Jasmine Heady, sweet and slightly animal underneath. Rarely subtle.
• Tuberose Creamy, waxy and enormous. The loudest white flower.
• Honey Sweet, waxy and slightly animalic. Can smell dirty in large doses.

Dry-down

• Sandalwood Creamy, milky wood. Soft and almost edible.
• Musk Warm, skin-like and slightly sweet. Makes a fragrance feel like you.
• Vanilla Sweet, creamy and warm. The most comforting note in perfumery.
