Scent Journey
The first 30 minutes are a burst of green and citrus. Fig leaf provides a fresh, slightly bitter greenness, while bergamot and mandarin add a sparkling, juicy brightness. Pink pepper introduces a subtle, tingling spice that prepares the nose for the complexity to come.
As the fragrance settles, the heart emerges with a rich, creamy fig. The salt note becomes prominent, adding a marine, almost savory quality that balances the fruit's sweetness. Ylang ylang contributes a soft, floral creaminess, making the fig feel more luxurious and sensual. This is the most distinctive phase, where the 'erotic' character truly shines.
In the drydown, the base notes take over. Brown sugar adds a warm, caramelized sweetness, while licorice brings a dark, anise-like depth. Patchouli and vetiver provide an earthy, woody foundation that grounds the fragrance and gives it lasting power. The overall effect is a smooth, slightly sweet, and woody trail that lingers on the skin for hours.
Performance Dashboard
6-8 hours on skin, which is moderate for an EDP. It lasts through a workday but may need a reapplication for an evening out.
Moderate projection. The scent is present but not loud, making it suitable for close encounters and intimate settings.
Moderate sillage. It projects about an arm's length, creating a noticeable but not overwhelming presence.
