Verdicts
Promise
A floral woody fragrance built around pink pepper, rose, iris, sandalwood, musk. Scent profile not yet written in our editorial pass — the listed notes are the most reliable summary of the wear character until that's filled in.
Carnal Flower
Bergamot and melon open things up with a brief, dewy brightness before tuberose takes over completely — and it does take over. This is a white floral built around tuberose at its most full and indolic, softened by jasmine and ylang ylang but never tamed. Coconut keeps it creamy rather than sharp, and the musk dry-down is warm and skin-close, extending the sillage for hours without going heady. Projection is confident but not aggressive — it announces, it doesn't shout. — Warm-weather evenings, worn by anyone unafraid of a flower that holds its ground.
