Notes
Top: Lime, Red Mandarin, Mint, Pink Pepper
Heart: Guava, Blackcurrant, Coconut
Base: Candied Fruits, Ambergris, Moss, Musk, Oud
The fragrance opens with an energetic burst of lime and red mandarin, immediately delivering a bright tropical freshness with a sparkling citrus character. Mint adds a cool aromatic edge while pink pepper introduces a subtle spicy sharpness that keeps the opening lively and modern rather than overly sweet. As it develops, the heart transitions into guava, blackcurrant, and coconut, creating a creamy tropical accord that feels smooth, juicy, and highly addictive. The guava stands out with its realistic exotic sweetness while the coconut softens the composition with a warm beach-like creaminess that gives the fragrance a relaxed holiday atmosphere. In the dry-down, candied fruits, ambergris, musk, moss, and oud create a musky woody finish that adds depth and longevity without overpowering the airy tropical character. The overall effect is a fruity tropical fragrance with a refined niche quality that feels playful, uplifting, and luxurious while remaining versatile and easy to wear.
