A unique visual signature based on accords, character, and seasonality
Pink pepper and mandarin dance across skin with freesia's soapy grace, creating a bright but almost immediately diffused top note that lacks any real citrus sharpness. Within moments, the aldehydic sparkle dulls into something creamy and pale, as if someone's already breathed on a mirror.
Heliotrope emerges as the true star, its almond-tinged sweetness warming against jasmine's whisper, while the fragrance settles into a distinctly powdery-floral mood. The composition becomes increasingly gourmand, tonka bean's vanilla-caramel notes rising beneath the florals like ground against sky.
Musk and vanilla tonka bean sustain a soft, skin-scent warmth that clings for perhaps two hours at best—if you're fortunate. The powdery sweetness becomes almost imperceptible, a fading memory of amber and creamy vanilla, disappearing entirely with little fanfare or trace.
Fresh Pineapple arrives as a peculiar contradiction—a body splash from 2001 that wears its sweetness like a silk slip beneath a linen shirt. Olivier Polge has constructed something deliberately soft-focused here, where the citrus top of freesia and mandarin orange doesn't actually taste fresh or zesty, but rather acts as a perfumed whisper over what the fragrance truly is: a powdery-floral confection with heliotrope's buttery warmth enveloping pale almond blossom and jasmine.
This is not a fruity fragrance pretending at sophistication. The pineapple promised in its name never materialises; instead, you're left with the ghost of tropical fruit refracted through an intensely powdery lens. Pink pepper adds a whisper of spice—not peppery heat, but the faint suggestion of warmth that keeps the composition from becoming entirely translucent. The real revelation comes in the base, where tonka bean's vanilla-caramel sweetness marries with heliotrope's almond-like character, creating a soft amber halo around creamy musk.
