Notes Pyramid
Scent Journey
The first spritz is a bright, effervescent burst of frosted apple and clementine, with pomegranate adding a tart, juicy kick. It’s like biting into a crisp winter fruit—refreshing and instantly uplifting. The pear lends a soft, sweet undertone that keeps the opening from being too sharp.
As the top notes settle, the heart reveals a cozy, spiced apple cider character. Cinnamon flower and saffron weave together with a hint of brandy, creating a warm, slightly boozy warmth. The apple note becomes more pronounced, evoking memories of baked goods and holiday treats. This is where the fragrance truly feels like winter in a bottle.
The base emerges slowly, with plum adding a dark, jammy sweetness that balances the earlier tartness. Vanilla softens the edges, while sandalwood provides a creamy, woody foundation. The drydown is comforting and intimate, lingering close to the skin with a subtle sweetness that invites you to lean in.
