Orange Sanguine Limited Edition

The first encounter is almost startling—coriander's peppery bite arrives before any fruitiness, the pear green and slightly bitter, creating an almost savoury blast that feels utterly at odds with the "orange" in the name. Within minutes, white pepper adds a crystalline sharpness that makes this opening feel architectural rather than fruity.

The rose and iris emerge gradually, the iris particularly dominant with its powdery, faintly violet character that obliterates any remaining fruitiness. The fragrance transforms here into something decidedly floral and dusty, the powdery accords becoming the dominant personality—it's increasingly reminiscent of vintage skin scents and dry florals rather than the fruity proposition of the opening.

Tonka's sweetness settles softly against the cedar's dry, slightly resinous wood notes, whilst the musk creates a skin-close veil that's more powdery-musky than animalic. The final hours are defined by a quiet, slightly vintage aesthetic—cedar and iris lingering together like old perfume bottles, the sweetness completely subdued.
