WD/18
by A. N. OTHER
A light, airy woody fragrance with a distinct pear note that blends seamlessly into creamy sandalwood and warm cedar. The opening delivers a sparkling, slightly fruity burst with cardamom and violet leaf, creating a fresh and modern feel. Over time, it deepens into a soft, powdery-sweet woody scent with earthy orris and subtle aquatic dryness, evoking a clean, calm, and slightly airier version of Santal 33. Longevity is consistently good, with noticeable wear into the evening, especially on fabric. It's highly unisex and ideal for casual or professional settings, suitable for day or night across spring and summer. While some find the pear note overpowering, many appreciate its balance and gentle sillage, though projection can be unpredictable. The drydown is smooth and skin-like, making it feel like a second skin during work or social days.
